Package Dependencies Validation

What is this validation?

This validation ensures that the dependencies of your package are complete and useful.

Why do we need this validation?

This validation is needed to ensure packages are not being published with unnecessary dependencies which could fill the User's project with unneeded packages. It also ensures that the package will pull on all the required dependencies to work.
