Preact: Suggestion: Don't show the donate message unless I'm directly installing preact

[sbrl]

I've just seen the following message from preact when installing a completely unrelated npm package:

I've no idea what preact is, I've never installed it - so I'm a bit confused why I'm being asked to donate.

I suggest that this message is only shown when someone is _directly_ installing preact. If preact is being installed by dependency, then it should not show the message.

You may not have directly installed preact, but you're using a package that depends on preact, and so are benefiting from preact, no?

Hey @sbrl as @gilbert nicely put it, you're using shepherd.js which has preact as a dependency. So, you actually _are_ using preact through shepherd.js.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/shepherd.js?activeTab=dependencies

Also, I don't think the _postinstall_ hook is aware whether the current package is a dependency or not.

Ah, I see. I'm just trying to point out that to the end developer, it's not always obvious why I'm using a particular dependency, so to see a donation message for a package I haven't used directly can be confusing.

Hrm, that's a shame. It would have been a good solution if it did know.
