dotnet pack doesn't include xmlserializer assembly

When forcing assembly to generate XmlSerializer assembly,when packing the project, this XmlSerializer assembly is not included in the nupkg.

Project file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net47</TargetFramework>
    <GenerateSerializationAssemblies>On</GenerateSerializationAssemblies>
    <SGenUseProxyTypes>false</SGenUseProxyTypes>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

command dotnet pack myproject.csproj generates following nuspec (in the obj folder):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2012/06/nuspec.xsd">
  <metadata>
    <id>myproject</id>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <authors>myproject</authors>
    <owners>myproject</owners>
    <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
    <description>Package Description</description>
    <dependencies>
      <group targetFramework=".NETFramework4.7" />
    </dependencies>
  </metadata>
  <files>
    <file src="c:\users\styxxy\Source\Repos\myproject\myproject\bin\Debug\net47\myproject.dll" target="lib\net47\myproject.dll" />
  </files>
</package>

I would expect the XmlSerializer assembly to be included as well.

@Styxxy that’s correct, the issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/6858 But i hope the workaround is better than having to manually manage a nuspec.
