Alright, I played around with https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-shade-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/shade/resource/XmlAppendingTransformer.javaa bit and it seems like it gives all that I have been looking for - a neat aggregated xml file that is valid. I will now go and see how to plug this in our dist bundle.
