Description
### Description
Some package manifest may be missing some esssential identifying info such as a name or version.
This could be the case when these are dynamically generated at build time or when the package type allows this (such as bower, npm or composer private packages) . We should still capture this and not balk as there can be a lot of useful data beyond this
