Description
When scanning my "uv-demo-project" with uv.lock file as following, the root package "uv-demo-project" is reported as a package. It should have been excluded.
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the scan with the supplied uv.lock content and trace the uv lockfile handling that turns package entries into detected components. Check how editable packages with source = { editable = "." } are treated. Done means the root package uv-demo-project is excluded while its external dependencies remain detected.
