Description
### Describe the bug
After upgrading to WinUI 3 (1.8.250906003) via the Microsoft® Visual Studio NuGet interface, I get the following build/linker warnings when building the solution:
warning MSB8027: Two or more files with the name of DeploymentManagerAutoInitializer.cpp will produce outputs to the same location. This can lead to an incorrect build result.
warning MSB8027: Two or more files with the name of WindowsAppRuntimeAutoInitializer.cpp will produce outputs to the same location. This can lead to an incorrect build result.
DeploymentManagerAutoInitializer.cpp

WindowsAppRuntimeAutoInitializer.cpp

warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored

warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored
[packages.config.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22254161/packages.config.txt)
### Why is this important?
Building the solution results in the above build/linker warnings or occasionally even fails to build due to file access denials related to the above-mentioned files ('DeploymentManagerAutoInitializer.cpp' and 'WindowsAppRuntimeAutoInitializer.cpp').
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Upgrade from the previous version to 1.8.250906003 via the Microsoft® Visual Studio NuGet interface.
2. Recompile the solution.

Research direction
Start with the attached packages.config.txt and reproduce the upgrade to WinUI 3 version 1.8.250906003, then inspect the build output for duplicate DeploymentManagerAutoInitializer.cpp and WindowsAppRuntimeAutoInitializer.cpp objects. Compare the generated project inputs before and after the upgrade; done means the solution builds without MSB8027 or LNK4042 warnings and without related file-access failures.
