Restore packages does not preserve package name cases

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Create a new project
Add Deedle package
Restore packages into packages directory

$ dotnet new classlib -n Lib
...
$ dotnet add Lib.csproj package Deedle
...
$ cat Lib.csproj
...
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Deedle" Version="2.0.1" />
  </ItemGroup>
...

$ dotnet restore --packages packages
  Restore completed in 906.43 ms for /home/vpap/temp/p1/Lib/Lib.csproj.

$ ll packages/
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 0 vpap vpap 512 Apr  6 18:13 deedle/

Expected behavior

Folder under packages should be Deedle.

Actual behavior

Instead it is always in small case; deedle.

Hi @fractus. Thanks for reporting an issue with us.

This is by design as NuGet stores the packages based on a normalized (lower case) name. cc @nkolev92 from the NuGet team to confirm that this is the expected behavior.

Are you running into any problems with the way NuGet is storing the package?
