It didn't occur to me that it could mean anything other than what it says: The project has a dependency on 1.0 (period). I guess I inferred that dependency/version would have equivalent semantic as project/dependency. There is no wiggle in project/version, of course; it is what it is. And so my unchallenged guess was that dependency/version is what it is and no deeper. Unchallenged until now: 3 months into converting ~9 ant projects to maven, total of ~150k LOC. Yikes.
