Reproduction steps

try to ignore scripts for dependency defined in workspaces

Describe the Bug

pnpm will not ignore scripts during pnpm install. I have had to create my own install script using --ignore-scripts flag, but surely there is a way this can be defined in the root package.json or pnpm-workspace.yaml

I have tried using overrides in the package.json and various ignore flags in the yaml file as per the docs, however each time i rerun pnpm install, the scripts of the dependency are executed and the package is built - which i am trying to avoid

Expected Behavior

install dependencies for packages defined in workspaces, but do not run scripts defined in their package.json file
