Paket doesn't add expected reference to .csproj

[smolyakoff]

Description

Paket doesn't add reference to Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives when I add Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json as a reference in paket.references

This may also be related: #1964

Repro steps

PaketReferencesIssue.zip

1. Create new solution in Visual Studio 2015 with a single console Windows app (not .NET core)
2. Initialize paket in a root directory
3. Add Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json to the paket.dependencies
4. Add paket.references file to console project with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json

Expected behavior

Paket adds a reference to csproj file and application runs normally without any issues

Actual behavior

Reference is not added, and application fails to start with the following message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json.dll

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Known workarounds

You can add reference manually, but it would removed during the next paket install. You can add missing dll to a project file and mark it as content with Copy If Newer option.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json is referencing .NET Standard library for .NET 4.5.1 - WTF!?

@matthid I think this is breaking our model....

"fixed" as in yes this special case is handled as well.
