Which of those could be upstreamed to Debian?

Those look plausible at least. It could be a new debhelper script dedicated to the task.

If dropping the upstream changelog is really worthwhile for you, I don't see why it should only be done on packages using CDBS. So you should just fork dh_installchangelogs to not install it (on the long term, you could use a hook called by dpkg-deb -b, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570934 for the associated wishlist bug).

Also ScottK mentionned in #debian-ubuntu (on OFTC) that KUbuntu has also modifications in pkg-kde-tools for langpacks ported to dh7... so you might want to investigate/coordinate with them.

HTH.
