Type aliases points to the underlying type not the root one, this cause issues where the autogenerated go package does not build if it links to internal packages.

Description
I have code like this:
```
.
├── a.go
├── b
│ ├── b.go
│ └── internal
│ └── internal.go
└── go.mod
```
```go
// a.go
package a
import "a/b"
type A = b.B
```
```go
// b.go
package b
import "a/b/internal"
type B = internal.I
```
```go
// internal.go
package internal
import "strconv"
type I uint
func (i I) String() string { return strconv.FormatUint(uint64(i), 10) }
```
`gopy pkg a` then creates a folder `a/a` and tries to import `a/b/internal` which does not work because it's not allowed to import an internal package.
My real world usecase is some existing librairy with type alias chains going through multiple modules.
I think this could be solved with the `GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1` https://pkg.go.dev/go/types#Alias but I'm not familiar with the gopy codebase.
