Package: maven-debian-helper Version: 2.1.3 Severity: normal When the --has-package-version options is used in the debian/<package>.poms file the corresponding pom should have a <debian.hasPackageVersion/> property once installed in the package. That's how mh_installpom works in maven-repo-helper, but this behavior wasn't replicated in the SysInstallMojo of maven-debian-helper.
As a consequence, the libraries packaged without the debian.hasPackageVersion property can never be versioned in the ${maven:Depends} variable of packages depending on them. This is annoying because it's impossible to automatically enfore versioned dependencies in binary packages. Emmanuel Bourg
