What's wrong with that?  It's good to seperate concerns of {project
dependency info} with {project build functionality}.  In my case it's
necessary because we use Ant imports to achieve a generic ant build tool
(same functionality everywhere) with configuration files, like pom.xml,
for each project (different dependencies for each project).
