From NuGet/Home#6354, the SuppressDependenciesWhenPacking property can turn off package reference and framework reference dependencies inference in SDK pack.

NuGetizer offers more granularity for this, via:

• PackFrameworkReferences: to ignore framework references
• %(PackageReference.Pack): to ignore specific package references.

So perhaps a compatibility behavior would be to set the following if SuppressDependenciesWhenPacking==true:

• If PackFrameworkReferences == '', set it to false
• Set %(PackageReference.Pack) = false if empty
