Dependency analyzer seems to skip packages that are `import .PKGNAME`

[biona001]

I think I am running into troubles with create_app whenever a dependency puts import .PKGNAME or using .PKGNAME statements in one of their package sub-files, for example:

• Example from JLD2.jl has using .UnPack on top
• Example from HDF5.jl has import .FileIO on top

This seems to cause the following warning in the final app:

Is there any way to get around this?

Issue resolved by creating a personal fork of those packages and commenting out all Requires.@require in them, see this post

[ufechner7]

Creating a personal fork is NOT a valid solution, only a workaround.

[biona001]

@ufechner7 I agree, reopening this issue.

But I don't think this is an issue with HDF5.jl or JLD2.jl, so I won't create issue there.
