It's now occurring to me that in the case of a file that is owned by a
package, it's listing the name of the owning package, not the name of
the owned file. Am I correct?
That is correct.
And now I see why you're confused. It doesn't show the filename, only
the package name, so you'll see an endless list of the package name,
with possibly only a few filenames mixed in.
