We are only interested in packages which are shipped with emacs,
so we should query only those. It's about activating some of these
builtin packages by default, so we have to filter external packages
from this list somehow, don't we?

symbol-file looks good, the provided features can be tested with it
and if the path is under the emacs installation directory then
we can say the feature is in a builtin package.
