merging managed dependencies should ONLY work when scope == import explicitly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-3483
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3483
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: POM
    Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 2.1-alpha-1
            Reporter: John Casey


dependencies of type == pom are useful for standardizing a set of dependencies 
for use in multiple projects that don't share a dependencyManagement section or 
a common parent POM. Limiting their use to import operations will severely 
curtail this option, and can cause a lot of problems with existing builds where 
modules have a type == pom, and are listed in dependencyManagement so they can 
be referenced elsewhere.

This is related to MNG-3391, so I'll also link them.
