True, but it needs more than a piecemeal tweak.

Ah! That could cause a problem. However, there is one possibility that
could deal with that for you, as a side-effect of the British
licensing system: Remember that ANY of the following would be valid as
your German callsign:
DC/G8JVM <= If you leave from England
DC/GD7JVM <= If you leave from the Isle of Man
DC/GI7JVM <= If you leave from Ireland
DC/GJ7JVM <= If you leave from Jersey
DC/GM7JVM <= If you leave from Scotland
DC/GU7JVM <= If you leave from Guernsey
DC/GW7JVM <= If you leave from Wales
As a result, you only need to cross the relevant internal border
before heading to Germany and you have two distinct callsigns that can
be used at opposite ends of your travels, both of which are assigned
to you.
For those interested, the above is a consequence of the text in note
(w) to BR68 which states the regional locator to be used depending on
precicely where within the UK one is, and the fact that as far as
one's licence is concerned, one is not required to notify either the
RA or SSL that one has crossed the said border.
