### What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

dependabot fails with the following error for VSSDK projects:

```
/home/dependabot/dependabot-updater/repo/Civ6ModBuddyAlt/Civ6ModBuddyAlt.csproj(212,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "/home/dependabot/.nuget/packages/microsoft.vssdk.buildtools/17.10.2179/tools/VSSDK/Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "/home/dependabot/.nuget/packages/microsoft.vssdk.buildtools/17.10.2179/build/../tools/VSSDK/Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
```

Research direction

Start with the linked Directory.Packages.props, .github/dependabot.yml, and the failed Actions job to reproduce the MSB4019 error for the VSSDK project. Done means Dependabot can process the project without failing because Microsoft.VsSDK.targets is missing.
