Neat. You can do something similar using bashisms:
echo foo |tee >(sed s/^/x/) >(sed s/^/y/) >(sed s/^/z/)

I have to agree :)

Some comments:
Your copyright file is incomplete (I think you know this).
Ideally, debian/dirs:usr/bin isn't necessary since the upstream
makefile should handle this.
*some* debian/rules comments should go away. But you should also
understand what eg. DH_VERBOSE, docbook-to-man, # dh_*, and the
manpage macro comments do and try the relevant things once before
getting rid of them.
Your configure-stamp target seems to do nothing. You should
understand why it was in the template and ultimately get rid of it.
BTW tell your upstream that libc6 unistd.h already defines
STDIN_FILENO and such, so main.c essentially just duplicates this.
