This was the idea behind cdd-dev 0.5.0. Changelog says:
...
* The source tarball of a CDD is now builded with prebuilded
debian/control file and is not rebuilded per package build
process.
* Added "dist" target to devtools/Makefile which builds
"get-orig-source" target of devtools/rules. If CDDs
build their source tarball using these tools nothing
has to be cleaned in build process
Closes: #468346

I think we discussed exactly this in an Extremadura meeting ...

Yes - to debian/control.stub belongs to SVN, debian/control does
not.

There is an extensive debian/README.source in SVN and source
tarball.
Kind regards
