Pub site search doesn't distinguish between dev dependencies and real dependencies
URL: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages?q=dependency%3Afront_end
In the link above kernel should not appear - it only has a dev_dependency on the front_end which is not a real dependency. Put another way, users with a dependency on the kernel package would not get a dependency on the front_end package, only developers of the kernel package would.
I think it would be fine to expose querying by dev dependency, but it shouldn't be treated the same as a regular dependency as it is an entirely different thing.
