They define an additional file

std/package.d

(and std/algorithm/package.d btw)

that lists off

module std;

public import std.algorithm;
public import std.everything;
public import std.else;

you get the idea.

So then teh compiler sees import std and finds that package.d, 
then follows its public imports the rest of the way down.
