The maven.publishedRules usually gets generated with comments to help
you if you used mh_make. If not, check another project for reference
such as [1]. Adding the line below should work:

org.apache.maven maven-core jar s/.*/3.x/

I wouldn't worry about this. It just means another package depends on a
different version of the library. Both libmaven2-core-java and
libmaven3-core-java are able to coexist on the same system. In your
case, it's brought in by libmaven-docck-plugin-java, a direct
dependency in the maven-scala-plugin.

Your problem is that poms get rewritten in the build phase by maven-
debian-helper. They change the version of dependencies to `debian`
because bananas (there really is a reason, but its not important here).
This happens regardless whether libmaven2-core-java gets pulled in by
dpkg. We just need to tell maven-debian-helper to use a specific
version, 3.x, instead of `debian` which redirects to 2.2.1 likely to
maintain compatibility. This is what the maven.publishedRules file is
for.
