I couldn't find anything related, neither on the mailing lists nor the
bug reports. Then again, I am not aware of any other team that maintains
their packages under one repo, so maybe that explains why nobody has
requested such a feature yet.
The Vcs-Git field can optionally specify the branch to be used in the
indicated repository[1]. Maybe it can be extended to also specify the
subdirectory where the 'debian/changelog' is located, though this may
require changing the Debian policy.
If you would like, I can open a bug report against vcswatch, and see
were it goes from there.
