automatically set version of msbuild nuget pack target via git

Question

I got inspired by a post on stackoverflow to automatically generate Versions for my project output. However this does not work for nuget packages.

I attached all relevant config files and log output. I tried different targets in the BeforeTargets argument in the definition of the SetVersion-target. The logs show that the target is also executed before the nugetpackage is created. Also the version properties get set via the executed command.

.csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFrameworks>netstandard2.0;</TargetFrameworks>
        <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
        <LangVersion>9</LangVersion>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup>
        <AfterTransform></AfterTransform>
        <GeneratePackageOnBuild>true</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
        <PackageId>SourceGenerator</PackageId>
        <Authors>author</Authors>
        <Company>company</Company>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference ...>
        </PackageReference>
    </ItemGroup>

    <!-- to be sure code generator output is in correct output dir -->
    <ItemGroup>
        <None Include="$(OutputPath)\netstandard2.0\$(AssemblyName).dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="analyzers/dotnet/cs" Visible="false" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>

directory.build.probs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

        <Message Text="The command was executed '$(FileVersion)'" Importance="high" />
        <Message Text="The command was executed '$(PackageVersion)'" Importance="high" />
    </Target>

    <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' ">
        <VersionSuffix>debug</VersionSuffix>

as you can see all Version properties get set, however the output file has the wrong filename bin\Debug\SourceGenerator.1.0.0-debug.nupkg'

I think the generation of ´obj\Debug\SourceGenerator.1.0.0-debug.nuspec` already is wrong:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
