For some teTeX (or older TeXLive?) packages, I've used a "sarge-backport" (or whatever the stable version was) target in debian/rules. It added a changelog entry with backport version number, and it switched some patches and build-deps (in particular, poppler wasn't available in stable, and we resorted to build with the embedded copy of xpdf code). Maybe that could help with some other packages, too - then the target should be standardized for those autobuilders.
