Weird that the Maven book has such a complicated setup. Here is an alternative

1) The assembly descriptor Maven module:

Create a POM with packaging type 'assembly-descriptor'. Put the following in 
the 'build' section of the POM:

    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2-beta-2</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>

And complete the rest of the POM as you like. Release the project and deploy it 
to your repository.
Put the file assembly-descriptor.xml under src/main/resources (note: *no* 
assemblies subfolder!)

2) Projects using the assembly descriptor

Configure the maven-assembly-plugin as follows:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2-beta-2</version>
        <configuration>
                <descriptors>
                        
<descriptor>some-group-id:assembly-descriptor-artifactId:1.0</descriptor>
                </descriptors>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
                <execution>
                        <goals>
                                <goal>attached</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                </execution>
        </executions>
</plugin>

I think this is much for the users of the assembly descriptor.
