Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The ignoredDependencies flag in DepClean currently requires declaring explicitly the version of the dependency to be excluded from the analysis. This may cause additional engineering effort when updating a dependency that is excluded.

Describe the solution you'd like
Use a version wildcard in the ignoreDependencies tag, succh has <ignoreDependencies>org.kohsuke.metainf-services:metainf-services:*:test</ignoreDependencies>

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another solution could be completely ignoring the version of the dependency to be excluded.
