For plugins and poms the exact type and version have to be specified in
the substitution rule. For example:

  org.apache.xbean maven-xbean-plugin maven-plugin s/4.1/4.5/ * *

I have no idea if this was designed that way or if it's a bug.

Generic 'debian' versions don't work with plugins unfortunately.
We would have to hack the Maven plugin validation logic.
