    MNG-6681 dependency type = extension+classifier
    
    removed misleading "While it usually represents the extension on the
    filename of the dependency, that is not always the case. A type can be
    mapped to a different extension and a classifier. The type often
    corresponds to the packaging used, though this is also not always the
    case."
