That's logical. However, I think it's a hard requirement. I do have a
passport right now, but if I hadn't, it would be hard for me to fulfill
it, since no one will recognize me on the picture in my driver's
license. And anyway, the way to get a passport in Germany is to go to
the town hall of the city where you live and ask for one. When you
first tell them you moved there, and when you are handed over the
passport, they only check the "Personalausweis". There's no other
checking made, e.g. nobody cares for your "document of birth" or
whatever. Therefore I don't see any use in a second ID issued by the
same government.

Well, that was theoretical. But should this procedure become accepted
"case law" within Debian, it might well be that in a couple of years (or
decades, no ideas about your plans) the secretary lives in Europe, or
India, or whatnot.

It seems it is quite dead.
