I agree that this should not change the way DebConf organisation works. But as I have already argued for the DC13 association I'm sceptical that separating the legal entity is the right way to achieve this. I'd prefer a way where the governance of the legal entity matches the governance model of the orga team. This will cause much less troubles in case of conflicts. The way to achieve this is IMO by everyone involved being a member of the association and by making the membership process as easy as possible. It should IMHO even be open to interested global team members. For DC13 we ended with the solution that all local team members are part of the association and also part of the board. We had quite some discussion about the relationship of the association and the global DebConf in the context of DC13. Here are our bylawas. These are drafted after Swiss Law which is in some points more liberal than the German law (regarding associations), but the main ideas might still be usefull.
