Description
Description
With paket 7.1.4 for a few packages paket adds the following change:
Removing the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> fixes it again
Repro steps
I have no clue how to trigger this.
Expected behavior
paket pack works as before
Actual behavior
paket pack fails with indicating that the csproj file for the template in question is missing
Known workarounds
As above. Is there anything wrong with the file encoding of that csproj files? How can this even be, as all of this is stored in a Git repo?

Research direction
The report names Paket 7.1.4, SDK-style .csproj files, and the paket install/pack flow, but no source file, test, or reproducible steps. Start by finding the project-file handling used by paket install and paket pack, then reproduce the unwanted XML change; done means paket pack succeeds without modifying the project incorrectly.
