Paket inconsistently adds/removes ‘content: none’ from paket.lock #3257

Description

I’m finding that when I run various different commands, Paket makes surprisingly inconsistent decisions to variously add or remove - content: none from my paket.lock files. These decisions appear random to the casual observer.

This is causing a tremendous amount of noise when it affects multiple dependencies, masking the real intent of the change.

Repro steps

Create the following paket.dependencies:

content: none
source: https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
nuget Angular.UI.Bootstrap.DateTimePicker 0.11.0

If I run paket update it creates a lock file containing:

Angular.UI.Bootstrap (2.5)

But when I run paket update --keep-patch it adds a suffix:

Angular.UI.Bootstrap (2.5) - content: none

Every time I run one or other command it correspondingly adds or removes the content: none bit.

Other commands also remove the suffix, for example doing a paket add....

I tend to run paket update --keep-patch with various other options (clean redirects etc) in order to mop up any inconsistencies added since the last time it ran, but it is frustrating when it makes all these other unrelated changes too.

Note that only the indirect dependency is affected by this problem.

This is just one example; with many indirect dependencies I can get hundreds of such affected lines.

Expected behavior

Paket doesn’t flip between different representations of the lock file.
