deploy script dependencies from external not resolved when using --tags

[nataouze]

Describe the bug
When running hardhat deploy with the --tags option, a deploy script that has a dependency on an external deploy script fails to run this dependency.

Expected behavior
The external deploy scripts should consistently be usable as dependencies, whether --tags is used or not, same as with the local deploy scripts.

Alternative to bypass the issue
Adding the dependency deploy script tag in the list of --tags correctly runs it.

versions

• hardhat-deploy 0.11.11 (and earlier)

Hello, any plan to look at this issue?

Hey you can just release your external deployments as npm package, import them in your project and just import the deployment function in a deployment file and add func.tags = ["Tag"]; in this file.. Please provide some code I can help with that
