Bug#740347: mh_installpoms -n should output what it would have done, not just exit

Package: maven-repo-helper
Version: 1.8.7
Severity: important

Hi,

mh_installpoms has an -n argument, documented thus:
        -n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results

But in fact, if you use -n, it does nothing at all and prints nothing
- line 96's check:
  if [ -z "$NOACT" ]; then

means that mh_installpoms does nothing and prints nothing. I think in
fact that this check should just be removed - then the enclosed code
would call mh_installpom -n which is what you wanted in this case.

Thanks,

Matthew
