Those metadata file are generated/uploaded by Maven when you deploy
the plugin (and not by Archiva)
So Archiva is not supposed to do that.
Writing a consummer to repair that sounds a good idea.
For 1.4. and coming 2.0.x see documentation here:
http://archiva.apache.org/docs/1.4-M4/customising/writing-consumer.html
If the documentation is not complete or clear enough (which can be
possible :-) ), do not hesitate to ask questions.
