I admit I personally prefer the cme layout.

Charles has commented on this.

Not that I know of.  You might like to file a wishlist bug report against
cme or otherwise contact the author.

Cme only deals with the files you call it upon (you can also use
   cme fix dpkg-copyright )

I admit my workflow was always to bump the Standards-Version and check
the package afterwards whether it complies to this.  Finally we always
want to have the latest standard and need to fix the package if there is
conflict.  In all the years and pollicy versions I've seen I had never
any problem with this workflow.

Kind regards
