It still doesn't unless you exclude versions from transitives
which takes some effort (e.g. the -X flag to figure out where versions
are really coming from).

Yes, that looks more complete. This also shows the container
project as undeclared in aop-mc-int which is not true.

It still doesn't give a way to verify or resolve dependencies consistently
in one place across an assembly. Running the same thing in the 
microcontainer/build project showed no dependencies at all.
