Have you taken a look at the Maven Assembly plugin?

This plugin allows you to customize how your distribution is assembled - i.e. what format (.tar.gz, .zip, etc), directory structure, etc. I think you should be able to bind several instances of the plugin to the package phase to assemble multiple variations of your output (i.e. the packaging for customer 1, customer2, etc, separately).

The deploy plugin should then automatically handle deploying each of your assembled packages in the target directory to the repository.
