It appears that dependencies are sometimes not found in subprojects.

Bisecting between 0.50.0 (good) and 0.51.0 (bad) points to either 32e827d (skip) or 07777e1 (bad) as the originator of the issue.

I can no longer reproduce this on 5.51.2 with Sway.

Bisecting negation between 0.51.1 (good) and 0.51.2 (bad) points to c952447 as a fix.
