I care, because the legacy nature of the project means that any changes I make to the existing structure of codebase on filesystem entails a lot of thought, and risks a veto. This is surely not an uncommon scenario.
I understand what is involved in, and (directly) implied by, declaring one project to be parent of another.

The parent project is only a POM... It effectively declares the structure of the project. If there is a core piece of logic that all other modules are built around, you define a module for that logic and then declare it as a dependency of all other modules. I think you are misinterpreting the role of the parent - there is no code involved.
