Description
I haven't seen any discussion related to Swift Macros support in XcodeGen. Since macros are meant to be distributed as Swift packages, I assumed that I could import a local package containing my macro and that this would just work. However, XcodeGen seems to treat local and remote packages differently (i.e. local packages are not part of the "Package Dependencies" section in the Project navigator), which is causing the compiler to not find my macro when building. If instead I use "Add Package Dependency..." in Xcode and add my local package there manually, the compiler is able to see the macro and everything works fine.
Curious if anyone else has encountered this issue when working with swift macros.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a local Swift package containing a macro, then compare the generated Xcode project with one where the package dependency is added manually. Done means XcodeGen-generated projects include the local package in the needed Package Dependencies section and the macro builds successfully.
