.NET vNext only uses one dll from referenced package

Question

I'm adding a dependency (mongocsharpdriver) to the net45 dependencies section like this:

    "net45": {
        "dependencies": {
            "System.Data": "",
            "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations": "",
            "mongocsharpdriver": "1.9.1"
        }
    },

Based on all other dependencies I've used, this should be enough to make it work. Here's some sample code I threw in to test it:

MongoDB.Bson.BsonArray test;
MongoDB.Driver.RemoveFlags test2;

With this in place, I'd expect that to compile, but MongoDB.Driver isn't recognized. MongoDB.Bson.BsonArray works fine.

Is having two assemblies in the same package an unsupported scenario in vNext, or is it not implemented yet?

I believe this was just a bug in ASP.NET vNext and has been fixed in more recent nightly builds, which are available on the ASP.NET vNext MyGet feed.

Here's the bug: https://github.com/aspnet/KRuntime/issues/266
