You would need to copy the contents of the entire admin dir (including all 
subdir's), I think.

True. You mentioned something about keeping control of the code in your 
original post and I assumed you meant keeping the catalog user's hands of 
the admin page files.  If that is not a concern, then overriding piecemeal 
in the catalog directory is definitely a more flexible way.
