All you need to add is:

override_dh_installchangelogs:
        dh_installchangelogs src/ChangeLog

This is similar to several other debhelper commands that have options
that are needed only occasionally, not typically as is the case with
things like dh_installdocs. So I don't feel that it warrents a special
changelogs list file.

The typical way to handle this is to pick one upstream changelog as the
main one, let dh_installchangelogs install it in the location policy
specifies (perhaps using -k), and use dh_installdocs or other means to
install the rest next to it.
