This is a good idea, but solves half the problem.

It certainly solves differentiating between the final pdf and the intermediate files, but it doesn't address knowing the difference 
between a pdf that I'm including (like the Creative Commons Logo) vs a pdf that I generate for the purpose of including (eg a dia 
diagram).

I guess if I don't have many of the former, I can stick them in a separate directory...
