I finally did.


Assuming the paster-stuff is bootstrapped through code like


  here_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(ableton.__file__))
  conf_dir = os.path.dirname(here_dir) 
  wsgiapp = loadapp('config:test.ini', relative_to=conf_dir)

you then can do it simply like this (inside a function/method!!)

  import myproject.controllers.root as root
  root.RootController.mountpoint = TestController()


Then you can access the controller through the usual

  self.app.get("/mountpoint/action")

Of course mounting of whole controller hierarchies is perfectly fine.

So I create a function in our base-test-class that allows to register a passed 
controller for a given mountpoint. Voila, greatness ensues.
