It seems that there is a nice undocumented feature to do what you want
(I found it in the code just now):

Add a "wms_layername" metadata to your layer definition and this value
will be used as the layer name in the GetFeatureInfo GML output. (The
default is to use the layer name + "_layer" (e.g. "parks_layer" for a
layer named "parks")
