Isn't this just a matter of choosing the right defaults? If by default you use artifact versions then people won't get a messy build unless they specifically ask for it, and at that point they should expect the possibility of some surprises. Distros certainly expect to take on the burden of integration testing as soon as the depart from upstream build procedures.

Also with Java being GPLed, more and more distros will be using it for core distro-related stuff, and they'll be trying to address the same maven issues that we're trying to address now. Isn't now the best time to work this out so that maven will be ready when distros start seriously leaning on Java?
