Description

Some projects that I add in packet.dependencies also have assemblies dependencies, but they use NuGet (for example JSON-RPC.NET need Newtonsoft.Json specified in packages.config).

So when I manually add JSON-RPC.NET as a project dependency in my application from Visual Studio, it doesn't compile because Newtonsoft.Json is not fetch.

Is their a way that packet can restore 'normal' nugget packages of git/github dependencies?

Research direction

Start with the dependency described in packet.dependencies and compare its packages.config requirements, using JSON-RPC.NET and Newtonsoft.Json as the example. Reproduce the Visual Studio project scenario and trace Paket's handling of Git/GitHub dependencies; done means the normal NuGet dependency is fetched so the consuming application compiles.
