Well, dh7 has the same kind of heuristic[1] to detect the upstream ChangeLog
so the end result would be the same and when it doesn't detect it
correctly, the maintainer is supposed to add an override for
dh_install_changelogs and pass it explicitly.

If you really want to strip them for all dehelper-using packages, you have to
modify dh_installchangelogs to not install it in the first place.

[1] See dh_installchangelogs(1):
       An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none
       is specified, a few common filenames are tried. (In compatibility
       level 7 and above.)
