Heh, I really didn't think about this use case. It does make sense. > (Perhaps this ability already exists in cme... in which case consider this > a wishlist to document how 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.
