Description
Description
We are currently using Paket in a team where there is a mix of OS'es.
In our fsproj, we settled that we would use / instead of \ for all paths.
Each time we install a new package via dotnet paket install, all our fsproj files are updated and the / is changed to \.
Repro steps
Normal usage of paket. Even when starting from scratch on Linux the Import will contains \.
dotnet new classlib -lang F# -n paket-test
cd paket-test
dotnet tool install paket
dotnet paket convert-from-nuget
Expected behavior
It would be nice if there was a way to control the path separator.
Actual behavior
Paket always seems to use \.
Known workarounds
Fixing this manually after each install.

Research direction
Start with the repro commands in the issue and trace where Paket generates or updates fsproj Import paths. Identify how path separators are selected and where a user-facing setting could apply. Done means installs can preserve or select / instead of always writing \, with the behavior covered by an appropriate regression test.
