Are any of these packages mirror-restricted? If you visit ctan in a
browser, the download links it presents are via mirrors.ctan.org. I
think that would be considered the "primary download location" in
satisfaction of

https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#third-party-mirrors

We already mirror everything onto Gentoo infrastructure (unless it's
mirror-restricted!), so I think it would be simpler to avoid the
indirection here and simply use mirrors.ctan.org.

Anyway, thanks you for this usually thankless work on TeX.
