Maven dependency not published for shadow dependency on project

[ejjcase]

Please check the User Guide before submitting "how do I do 'x'?" questions!

Shadow Version

5.2.0

Gradle Version

5.6.4

Expected Behavior

I have a multi-project build with subprojects foo-api and foo-impl. Both are published with maven-publish. foo-impl uses shadow and has this dependency:

shadow(project(":foo-api"))

When I publish foo-impl I expect the .pom to declare a runtime dependency on foo-api with the appropriate group and version.

Actual Behavior

The .pom does not declare any dependencies.

I can work around the problem by declaring the dependency like this instead:

shadow("$group:foo-api:$version")

but this only works if that version of foo-api is already published - an unsafe assumption.
