Duplicate "API available in NuGet package" Issues. Massively overinflates story points.

[EmperorArthur]

Describe the bug

Issue occurs during code analysis.

When multiple pieces of code rely on a transitive package, each individual instance is reported as a new issue, with an additional story point. Sometimes with the issue being reported multiple times for the same line.

The nuance is this is one issue that should have a single story point. However, the "Incidents" and "Story Points" makes it seem like a massive task.

Specifics

All of these are because "System.ServiceModel.Primitives, 8.0.0" is a transitive dependency of "System.ServiceModel.Http".

Screenshot pending. GitHub reporting upload fails.

To Reproduce

• Create a "netstandard2.0" project.
• Use Visual Studio's Connected Services code generator on a "wsdl" file.
• Verify a "Reference.cs" file is created.
• Remove the "System.ServiceModel.Primitives" dependency if it was added automatically.
• Run the analyzer.
• Observe the large number of incidents and story points.
