That's correct.

The rebuild is based on sid.

By the way, after I built maven-jarjar-plugin with ant added, I got a
similar failure building sisu-guice:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) org.apache.ant:ant:jar:debian

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.ant
-DartifactId=ant -Dversion=debian -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.ant -DartifactId=ant
-Dversion=debian -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url]
-DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) org.sonatype.plugins:jarjar-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.9
        2) org.apache.ant:ant:jar:debian

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
  org.sonatype.plugins:jarjar-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.9

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)



NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode. Any artifacts not already in
your local
repository will be inaccessible.

I'm not sure why that's happening, given that as far as I can tell,
the dependency on ant is marked as optional in jarjar-maven-plugin's
pom.xml file.
