i've found that maven-artifact and maven-settings could also be included
in that list; the choice to split maven2 in subpackages seems wise to me,
and i see not too much hassle in requiring some specific package instead
of a bigger one. But did you document somewhere which of those packages
are still provided with maven3 (main or subpackage of it)? Would always
be feasible/safe for a package to require maven 3 and one of those subpackages
(ie BR: maven & BR: maven-artifact-manager = 2.2.1 ) ?
Though shipping maven 3.0 and a maven-xxx package built from the maven 2
sources could appear a bit inelegant
