Hi Gregor,

thanks a lot for this hint.

The attached patch tries to implement what you said and is (in contrast
to the DEP3 description which I forgot to adapt) removing only the
online test.  However, as I just noticed now, the rules file is cdbs
based and can not work this way.  If anybody wants to translate this
to cdbs syntax I'd be happy (alternatively it would be really cool
if maven-helper would be translated to dh ;-)).

Kind regards

        Andreas.
