The maven package pulls the dependencies because it can be run in offline mode with no access to the Maven Central repository (this is a prerequisite to build official Debian/Ubuntu packages from sources). These dependencies should have no impact on the projects built with Maven, they are stored in a dedicated repository under /usr/share/maven- repo and don't interfere with the user's local repository.
