Reproduction

1. npx nuxi@latest init <project-name> than cd <project-name>
2. npx nuxi@latest module add i18n

And the result package.json is:

"dependencies": {
    "@nuxtjs/i18n": "^8.3.1",
}

instead of:

"devDependencies": {
    "@nuxtjs/i18n": "^8.3.0",
}

Describe the bug

When using nuxi module add it places dependency in dependencies part of package.json instead of devDependency.
About a week ago i did similar installation and it was placed in proper way (to devDependency). Now something is changed.

To be clear, it doesn't make a difference as Nuxt generates a fully self-contained .output folder with its own node_modules.

We have shifted to install nuxt + modules as dependencies, with the possibility of keeping things like linters for devDependencies.

So this isn't a bug but a desired change of behaviour. But ultimately it's up to you.
