IMO we shouldn't add the jar files, that our blocks depend on, to our blocks but 
put them into WEB-INF/lib for now. My plan is using M2 dependency resolving that 
enables us to ask for all dependencies of a group of jars (see my experiments in 
the deployer-maven-plugin). This way M2 takes care that we only install one jar 
in one version.

When our blocks become OSGi bundles, this problem gets automatically solved.
