I'm not sure to understand, but the root pom should not be ignored, it

In general, I agree with you. However, the (arguably poorly structured) Google Auto series of packages create only the following in maven-repo from their root POM:

├── maven-repo
│   ├── build-only
│   │   └── build-only
│   │       ├── debian
│   │       │   └── build-only-debian.pom
│   │       └── NO_VERSION
│   │           └── build-only-NO_VERSION.pom

 

Those two POMs are attached. To me this seems to only add noise and no real value. Thoughts?
