We currently surface the PackageReference's IncludeAssets/ExcludeAssets as the ultimate dependency Include/Exclude metadata attributes. This is not always what you want, though. For example: if you need the compile dependency for compiling the project, but only want to surface the dependency as a build dependency, you cannot exclude the compile asset because your project depends on the lib to build. In order to make this more intuitive and aligned with the other attributes, we introduce PackInclude/PackExclude attributes for that purpose, which map exactly to the .nuspec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/nuspec#dependencies-element. Note that the existing behavior will be overriden if those attributes are provided, which provides backwards compatibility.
