You can't assume that buildds have deb-src lines or even network
connectivity.
But there are 2 things you can do:
1) Become a comaintainer of r-base and add the JIT patches to the
package. You would then build r-base and r-base-jit (for example) from
the same source.
2) You can do is convince the r-base maintainer to create an
r-base-source.deb containing the source and Build-Depend on that.
