Have you seen this? http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice
It suggests that additions to NOTICE should be quite rare. It is important that the N&L files relate to the bits which are actually included. This means that the N&L files at the top level of SVN can be used directly for the source archive, as the archive and SVN should generally agree (bar maybe the DOAP). The binary archive may need additional License (and occasionally) Notice entries, depending what is additionally bundled. In the case of Maven jars, these are usually derived from *parts* of the source, so some may need simpler N&L files than even the source. For example if the source contains 3rd party images/icons, SVN and the source archive will need to take account of those, but the jars that don't contain the images should not reference them.
