Thank you Thomas,
after a morning of maven fun.... I did get a lot further with my upgrade of curriki's
core (from 3.1 to 3.5).
I have to say that this is much of a guess work ("à tâtons" in french):
- from missing dependencies, I could infer using nexus search, that they were reformulated
to something else
- from missing classes, I can easily find a missing jar (with nexus, my own knowledge, or
google)
- from extra jars (we still had plexus-container alpha-30), I could guess to get rid of
them by seeing odd exceptions
I am stuck with the below:

Could not find a QueryExecutor with hint hibernate which is the hint for the storage
engine. the default QueryExecutor will not be used instead.

org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.lookup(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:147)
~[xwiki-commons-component-default-3.5.jar:na] 
a hint here would be cute. I do not know where to search anymore.
One thing that could help is that each release provides a list of "implementors"
for each component's contract and hint. I'm sure maven can do that, I think it
should be published.
I am not sure how i should know that I should ignore some jars...

  It depends what's your situation.
 This error generally mean that you don't have
 xwiki-commons-logging-logback jar in your classpath.

 Hello XWiki experts,
 how do you debug:
        org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Can't find descriptor
for the component [role = [org.xwiki.logging.LoggerManager] hint = [default]]
 It seems to prevent startup of my XWiki.
 thanks in advance
 Paul
