This really gets into debhelper behavior. The stuff on the command line and
in the files complements each other, and if you mention an equally-named file
twice, you'll have a problem. I see that this is a bother for you but it's
just an unfortunate consequence of debhelper behavior. I don't see how we
can change that in CDBS without overruling debhelper design decisions.
I'd say the best way to deal with this would be to override
DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL for individual packages, like so:
binary-install/foopkg:: DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL=
