I'm almost 100% Nexus merges the two files automatically once the release is promoted after the vote is accepted.
The current file (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/directory/shared/apache-ldap-api/maven-metadata.xml) seems to contain correct information with the latest 1.0.0-M2 release I did a few weeks ago. And I followed the same release process as usual. To me it makes sense that the maven-metadata.xml file on the staging does not contain any previous reference since on this server there's no other release, and that Nexus takes care of updating maven-metadata.xml file on the "real" repository after the release has been approved and promoted.
