UAP10 "Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform": "5.2.0" is too high?

The current project.json specified dependency as 5.2.0, yet the default template for UWP app is 5.1.0. Therefore the two can't work correctly together.

To repro:

1, use VS 2015 update 3 to create a new UWP app, it compiles alright.
2, add SSH.NET in by NuGet, then F6 will give us these errors:

If we change the UWP app json to 5.2.0, then all those will be gone. But this is probably prohibited for some people/project.

If there is no specific reason to require 5.2.0, can we change it to 5.1.0 so that it works out of box?

Best regards

Start by inspecting the project's project.json dependency for Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform and compare its version with the UWP template's 5.1.0 requirement. Reproduce the issue in a VS 2015 Update 3 UWP app with SSH.NET installed, then verify that changing the dependency removes the package downgrade and duplicate Microsoft.Win32.Primitives build errors.
