One way that occurs to me is to have the dependencies in a separate pom. You can then add an section via the profile.

    
        my.company.dependencies
        my-dependencies
        1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
        pom
    



    
        false
        
            exclude-deps
        
    

    
        
            my.company.dependencies
            my-dependencies
            1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
            pom
            
                
                    my.company
                    bad-dep-1
                
                
                    my.company
                    bad-dep-2
