Description
Bug Report
I'm trying to follow the Angular tutorial to use shared libraries: https://angular.io/guide/creating-libraries#creating-libraries
According to this section in the tutorial I am supposed to import the service like below but it is not suggested in the prompt:
import { CustomLibService } from "custom-lib";
When I try to import a shared service the quick fix suggests wrong import paths:
Auto import doesn't help either:

Research direction
Start with the linked GitHub reproduction repository and verify the behavior using VS Code 1.53.2, TypeScript 4.1.2, and Angular 11.2.1. Trace the auto-import and quick-fix behavior for the shared library; done means both suggestions offer the package import custom-lib rather than incorrect paths.
