Description

Hi!

I specified clojure-vim/vim-jackin like

'clojure-vim/vim-jack-in',
    requires = {
      'radenling/vim-dispatch-neovim',
      'tpope/vim-dispatch'
    },
    ft = 'clojure'

but vim-jack-in is installed in opt while while vim-dispathc-neovim and vim-dispatch are installed in start

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how packer.nvim installs plugins and their dependencies, especially regarding the ft option. Find where the ft property is applied and ensure it is propagated to dependent plugins listed in requires.
