And what is stopping you from doing that with a proper makefile?
You are constantly repeating you need to violate policy for an issue
that is similar easy to achieve while still following the policy.
You can use standard make syntax on deciding if you build a policy
compliant package or if you are going to do mad things to the debian/
before continuing the build, and the actual changes you are doing to
debian/rules seem to be easy enough to also achieve with make checking
for the environment var or not.

A BSP means that many DDs and other mere mortals get together to play
xroach. Sadly, that package was removed from Debian some time ago, so
they have to squash other bugs (preferably RC) instead.
