The inconvenience goes further than building in the first place.

If I want to try running a Debian package with an experimental patch as a one-off, I haven't found it too hard to build my own version.

But AFAIK there's nothing that helps me manage the necessary work to rebuild with the same patch when a new distribution version comes along.

Do source-based distributions have a good solution for this?

If you use Git, you just run git merge. If not, uupdate gives a good enough result for further fine tuning.
