In many (if not most) jurisdictions, using a fake government ID for any
transaction whatsoever is a crime. It's not tied to monetary or any
other gain. The deterrent is meant to be absolute. Otherwise it wouldn't
be very effective.
But even if it weren't a crime: Once the person waving the fake ID is
caught, it's unlikely that we'd see that person ever again at future
Debian events, as that would probably result in a call to law enforcement.
You can't change your own face (within reason), and exposing that face
is a risk.
You can easily discard an online persona and create a new one, though.
