Ease of workflow. Every now and then, the upstream src is updated. At best, you just replace the old /src/ with the new contents (deleting again unwanted pdfs and such, as William noted --- this should be documented in each spkg.txt description, if necessary), and tadah, you're already done. Sometimes, patches have to be rebased, or new ones are needed, or old ones are obsolete. But still then, you can concentrate on just these.
