Heh, I really didn't think about this use case. It does make sense.

There's a similar possibility with multistrap model where you must specify a 
configuration file name. I'll see what I can do to offer this possibility with 
dpkg-copyright. 

It does conflicts with the fact that a debian/copyright file must be present 
during regular packaging activity. Well, I'll figure something out.

All the best
