Not sure for "best way" but here some ideas how this problem could be 
addressed:

Sometimes one dependency required only by tests. In such case it may be safe 
to disable corresponding tests in order to break/remove circular dependency.

Since Packer appears to be a bigger package it is likely that you are 
packaging "winrmcp" merely to satisfy dependency of Packer. There are two 
options:

 * To keep bundled/vendored version of "winrmcp" in Packer and do not package 
"winrmcp" separately;

 * To keep bundled/vendored portion of Packer code in "winrmcp".

I would investigate those options in given order. Whatever you choose please 
remember to leave a note explaining your decision in README.source.
