I'm not sure the specifics of VELOs problem but I have run into some issues with NMaven for .NET support. There may be cases (like netmodules, or linking of assemblies) where you don't want transitive dependencies, they need to be direct. So it is up to the plugins to decide if artifactType[x]:compile is transtive or not. It is the same scope but the behavior is different depending on artifact type.
There are also issues such as the Global Assembly Cache. In this case, I use a provided scope but when the plugins see an artifact dependency with dotnet:gac_msil type, they know to treat it differently. So the key is not to change scopes but to change the artifact type of the dependency to handle different behavior of the scope.
