project artifact included in dependencies

The dependency set for a war packaged project includes the final war file into the dependencies. There is no way to exclude it.

The attached zip file shows a project which exibits this behavior.

The final zip contains the following structure:

foo/pom.xml
foo/lib
foo/lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
foo/lib/foo.war
foo/src
foo/src/assembly
foo/src/assembly/bin.xml
foo/src/main

and several source files (left them out for brevity). Please note that the assembly includes the final war file in the lib directory, where it doesn't belong. Also note that the servlet api dependency is not included (see other issue).
