Reporting plugin configuration no inheriting

[Nikolas Everett]

I'm trying to set up reporting plugin inheritance and not having any luck.
I'm using Maven 2.0.9 on Java 1.6.0_07.  Here is my problem:
parent/pom.xml has
  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <silent>true</silent>
          <links>
            <link>parentLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

child/pom.xml has
  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <links>
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

After installing the parent, mvn help:effective-pom for the child yeilds:
 <reporting>
    <outputDirectory>target/site</outputDirectory>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <links>
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

I expected it to look like:
 <reporting>
    <outputDirectory>target/site</outputDirectory>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <silent>true</silent>
          <links>
            <link>parentLink</link>
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

Is there any way to convince maven to do that?

I've attached both projects in case this is not clear.

Thanks very much,
