When a multi-modules project has two modules sharing the same dependency
but with different scopes, maven-debian-helper gets confused and doesn't
use the right dependency group for the associated packaged.

For example with activemq/5.15.2-1, the commons-net dependency is optional
in the activemq-client module but mandatory in the activemq-kahadb-store
module. In this case maven-debian-helper believes the dependency is
optional and puts libcommons-net-java in ${maven:OptionalDepends} instead
of ${maven:Depends}. I haven't checked if the dependencies with the
'provided' scope are also affected by this issue.

Closes: 748059 884182
Changes:
 maven-debian-helper (2.8) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Resolve the dependencies of every binary package: the POM files assigned to
     another package with the --package option in the .poms file now feed the
     ${maven:Depends} variables of that package (Closes: #748059)
   * Use the version installed instead of the generic version of a Maven rule
     (2.x) in the versioned dependencies generated
   * A dependency required by one module and optional in another one is no longer
     listed in both ${maven:Depends} and ${maven:OptionalDepends}
     (Closes: #884182)
