feature request: also bump deps in package distribution folder

[Badisi]

Consider the following:

root
└── dist
    ├── A
    └── B
└── projects
    ├── A
    └── B (depends on A)

When releasing both A and B, MSR will eventually find that A needs to be updated in B's deps.
It will even include a note for that in B's release notes: "Dependencies A: upgraded to x.x.x".
Which is a great feature!

But in my case both A and B where built to a dist folder prior to running MSR.
And the package.json that MSR will actually updates (in updateDeps.js#L311) is projects/B/package.json not dist/B/package.json which is the one that needs to be updated before publishing.

Would it be possible to also look for the pkgRoot option of @semantic-release/npm and made the changes in there too ?

Thanks!
