The pub installing tab doesn't show dev_dependencies

[feinstein]

The installing instructions here show:

dependencies:
  test: ^1.5.3

while it should be:

dev_dependencies:
  test: ^1.5.3

It would be handy to be able to indicate somewhere in the pubspec when a package is usually a dev dependency.

@jonasfj we could infer this from the pubspec.yaml files: if a package is 90%+ referenced only as part of the dev_dependencies:, we could display the different label. However, it should be probably part of the package dependency graph or search.

We could also make a convention install.md is render there if present..

[isoos]

install.md sounds good, and/or we could also extract it from readme (if we had the parsing and table-of-content extraction for it).

Can we bump the priority of this issue? We're likely going to reference the installing page for package:test from tooling and docs, and it currently provides incorrect guidence.

Even one-off handling pf package:test would be a useful workaround (if a general purpose solution isn't feasible in the near term).

@devoncarew: I've submitted #3397 to simply change the dependencies to dev_dependencies in the case of package:test. Is there any other urgent part to be fixed?

[devoncarew]

Nope, that's it; thanks!
