Visual Studio C++ NuGet issues with custom solution name

ℹ️

Dear googler (or equivalent), this is a bug-reportish rant.
There is no easy fix, but at least you might know this won’t work.

Setting custom solution name (changing from Release/Debug to something else) breaks NuGet.

Why? Look at the packages/{package name}/build file (this one comes from fmtlib):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <!-- ... -->
  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Debug'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalDependencies>fmtd.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Link>
    <Lib>
      <AdditionalDependencies>fmtd.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Lib>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>
  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Release'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalDependencies>fmt.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Link>
   <Lib>
      <AdditionalDependencies>fmt.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Lib>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>
  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Platform)'=='x64'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\lib\native\lib\x64;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
    </Link>
        <Lib>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\lib\native\lib\x64;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
    </Lib>
   </ItemDefinitionGroup>
  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Platform)'=='x86' Or '$(Platform)'=='Win32'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\lib\native\lib\x86;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
    </Link>
    <Lib>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\lib\native\lib\x86;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
    </Lib>
   </ItemDefinitionGroup>
</Project>

So when if you wanted to target a project with two variants of a library, ex. Debug-1 and Debug-2, you’re out of luck.
