Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was:
"@angular-builders/custom-webpack": "11.0.0"
"webpack": "4.43.0"

Description

We are using "@angular-builders/custom-webpack": "11.0.0" in our devDependencies, and everything worked as expected with the usage of "webpack": "4.43.0".

After we updated our "webpack" dependency to version "5.27.2" we got some warnings related to "@angular-devkit/build-angular" required packages, these are the warnings:

• @angular-devkit/[email protected] requires a peer of webpack@^4.6.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
• @ngtools/[email protected] requires a peer of webpack@^4.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
• [email protected] requires a peer of webpack@^4.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

It can be reproduced with the latest "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "0.1102.5"

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

ng new test-app
npm install webpack@latest

Hi @varevacdamir,

Thanks for this report.

In version 11 this is the expected behaviour as Webpack version 5 support is still experimental. This will be addressed in version 12 when #20084 is merged.

Kindly subscribe to the above mentioned PR, thanks.
