pnpm deploy excludes dev dependencies

[kyle-mccarthy]

pnpm deploy overrides the dev option making it impossible to include dev dependencies in the output. I have a monorepo that includes several nextjs sites, these sites are deployed using docker using a standalone build. By default this does not work with pnpm due to the symlinked dependencies; however, the deploy command would provide a work around if I could include dev dependencies.

pnpm version: 7.5.1

Code to reproduce the issue:

repository: https://github.com/kyle-mccarthy/pnpm-deploy-issue

Steps

1. Clone the repo
2. pnpm deploy --filter=example out
3. cd example
4. pnpm build

Expected behavior:

pnpm deploy would allow for including dev dependencies

Actual behavior:

pnpm deploy doesn't include dev dependencies or provide an option that allows to include them
