Do packages that refer to meteor/mongo need to be atmosphere packages?

I have an npm package I published to assist with Galaxy maintenance periods. It’s not working, though. I get the following error on the server side:

W20170118-21:20:52.753(-8)? (STDERR) Error: Cannot find module 'meteor/mongo'
W20170118-21:20:52.754(-8)? (STDERR)     at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:325:15)

Seems strange that import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo' would fail. Why is this happening?
