I think this is a highly special case, and you are encouraged to work around it yourself. Normally, there should be one DEB_SRCDIR, and everything happens relative to it. If the files are distributed differently, it is best if you write variable assignments to tell exactly where they are. If we make cdbs look around for things outside of its assigned directories, things could go quite crazy. The case of changelogs perhaps isn't so critical, but there are analogous cases one could think of where one wouldn't want this, and then things get very inconsistent. So for the moment I suggest you write your own override. Once we get into a situation where many packages need similar overrides, then we can integrate a general solution into cdbs.
