Generated package.json uses wrong version identifier

[charsleysa]

Current Behavior

Using anything that isn't a version number in the version field in the root package.json results in the generated package.json containing the wrong version number.

e.g. "postgres": "charsleysa/postgres#fix-errors-compiled", results in "postgres": "3.2.4", being generated

Expected Behavior

Generated package.json should keep the version identifier specified in package-lock.json dependencies.

e.g. "postgres": "git+ssh://git@github.com/charsleysa/postgres.git#3b1a01b2da3e2fafb1a79006f838eff11a8de3cb",

2. Run npm install
3. Import postgres package into app configured to generate package.json
4. Run build

Additional Information

This was working fine in nx@15.0.0 so the bug appears to have been introduced when fixing another generated package.json issue, possibly by PR #12996
