Actually, before we jump into this, let's consider the use case at hand. While easily solved by pre-package at this point, we may find other needs.
To take these suggestions even further, perhaps the idea of a fixed set of phases is too limiting. An alternative would be to number phases, from (say) 0 to 1000, with the current named phases as aliases for 100, 200, etc. Then it's easy for plugins which need it to slip in an extra phase.
I've lost count of the number of times I've told people on #maven that there is no way to ensure that a particular execution runs between phases X and Y. Admittedly, there's a bug which means that execution order isn't preserved within a phase, and fixing that would ameliorate this.
Anyway, I'm fully expected to be shouted down, and told that this will only lead to confusion; however, I think it's worth considering.
