In Debian the poms installed under /usr/share/maven-repo are rewritten
to point to the right dependency versions. For example the pom for
com.sun.mail:javax.mail
(/usr/share/maven-repo/com/sun/mail/javax.mail/1.6.1/javax.mail-1.6.1.pom)
declares this dependency:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
    <version>debian</version>
  </dependency>

The version 'debian' here stands for the latest version available (i.e.
1.2.0 currently).

So the poms in /usr/share/maven-repo are consistent and safe using.
