Problem: specifying “extensionDependencies” in the extension manifest does not work as intended.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a simple VS Code extension project
2. In package.json, specify extensionDependencies

In my case, I had this code:

    "extensionDependencies": [
        "samverschueren.yo"
    ]

3. package the extension as .vsix and import it in another instance of VSCode.

Expected: VSCode extension dependencies are installed
Actual: extension dependencies aren't installed.

Furthermore, if i uninstall my extension, VSCode asks if it should uninstall dependencies as well and if answered yes, extension dependencies are properly removed. This tells me I got the extension name $publisher.$name right. So, it seems to me that, uninstall flow works as expected and install does not. Unless, I'm missing something.
