I don't think the "master" configuration is supported by our Maven 
repository. You would need proper Ivy metadata, since Ivy has a much richer 
concept of configurations that Maven.

You can probably change the dependency to common->default. In the worst case 
you end up with some superfluous dependencies. Those can be excluded 
manually.

I use mh_installpoms in testng, but not the other mh_install* commands.

If the artifacts have Maven or Ivy descriptors, then probably yes. If not, 
I'm not sure. We would have to invent the module descriptor, and the names 
would only have significance within Debian, so there is little gain but 
potential for namespace confusion.

+1. Additionally I think the debian-maven-repo-versioned resolver could be 
shipped in ivy as the pre-configured "shared" resolver.
