Package Manager doesn't resolve package dependencies when using Git URL to add a package which contains a Git URL dependency

Packman

Jul 07, 2020

How to reproduce:
1. Create and open a new project
2. Open the Package Manager window from Window > Package Manager
3. Click Add package from Git URL and use this URL: https://github.com/Augustinas-simkus/Package2.git

Expected result: "Package 2" downloads together with "Package 1" since "Package 1" is listed as a dependency
Actual result: error is thrown and the package isn't added

Reproducible with: 2019.4.4f1, 2020.1.0b16, 2020.2.0a18
Could not test with: 2018.4.24f1 (no support for Git URLs)

Notes:
-If "Package 1" is installed separately via the URL provided in the package.json of the "Package 2", "Package 2" downloads successfully
-The full error message which is thrown after the download fails:
Cannot perform upm operation: Unable to add package [https://github.com/Augustinas-simkus/Package2.git]:
Package com.augustinas_simkus.package2@https://github.com/Augustinas-simkus/Package2.git has invalid dependencies or related test packages:
com.augustinas_simkus.package1 (dependency): Version 'https://github.com/Augustinas-simkus/Package1.git' is invalid. Expected a 'SemVer' compatible value. [NotFound].See console for more details
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

Resolution Note:

Dependencies declared with Git URLs are only supported in project manifests (<project>/Packages/manifest.json), not package manifests (package.json).

Sorry for necro posting.

We're using specialized packages in our company and need to be able to set dependencies in package.json files that point to other git repos.
I'm getting the same error as above, any chance this is in the pipeline?
