Gbp-Dch can ge told which files/directories to look at for changes like gbp dch debian/ so while something you describe could be added too I'm not sure it's really useful. That said if somebody comes up with a clean patch I'm happy to apply it. Given all the other bugs we have currently open in gbp it's not likely I'm going to implement this anytime soon.
