To me that seems like a bunch of fragile code that will be attempting
type checking based on __class__.__name__,  then trying to copy all
the relevant data (which is different for each exception) from one
object to another with the same name, and all this only for the "local
CKAN" case.

Why not make exceptions that actions raise part of their published
interface, with known import locations  instead?
