Please don't. Please read the lintian tag's description, and the
related policy paragraph. The upstream changelog should be installed
(compressed) as /usr/share/doc/pkg/changelog.gz, and
dh_installchangelogs it the tool you use to accomplish so.

That feels like something that is not as clean as it could be. Also,
reading your description of what you are doing I believe your package
wouldn't build twice in a row (i.e. `dpkg-buildpackage &&
dpkg-buildpackage`), which is another bug. I think what you want to do
instead is to *copy* those sources into a temporary directory that you
then remove with dh_clean. That said, this feels like an upstream
thing, why do you need to copy/move files around before building them?
The clean target doesn't clean enough? etc etc.
Note: I haven't looked at the package at all.
