Are package.json peerDependencies transitive?

Question

I'll ask my question in the form of an example. Let's assume there is a long dependency chain:

A --depends on--> B
A --depends on--> E
B --depends on--> C
C --depends on--> D
D --peer dependency on--> E

• B and C don't use E.

Here's the question: should B and C's package.json specify a peerDependency on E (the same peerDependency found in D's package.json)?

This comment inspired my question:

I just checked jsdom already provides canvas in peerDependency ( https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom/blob/main/package.json )? Do we need to provide it again?
