It's actually somewhat more complicated than that, as the behaviour
differs depending on whether the previous upload was a backport. I
assume you've looked at the code before suggesting changing it though.

Have you asked the devscripts maintainers? That's not the sort of change
I'd personally be happy with unless the maintainers had signed it off.
(I realise it's now in collab-maint, but my understanding was that the
intention was to make it easier to contribute rather than easier to
upload.)

-my %bpo_dists = ( 60, 'squeeze' );
-my $latest_bpo_dist = '60';
+my %bpo_dists = ( 70, 'wheezy' );
+my $latest_bpo_dist = '70';

The first of those changes is wrong for as long as uploads to
squeeze-backports are supported. Apparently my earlier assumption was
wrong. :-(
