Well, Red Hat has been good at finding loopholes in the past which make it difficult for people. Removing all the configure and Makefiles make it quite hard to just rebuild, they used to do that with their RHES product.

Or delivering older sources than the shipping product, "while they get the sources ready"...those type of things make it difficult for people to rebuild and deploy.

You point apt or yum at the main repository and your
own repository that has your customized packages.
Setting up your own repository is simple too so the
whole thing is quick and easy to setup.

Sure, everything you know how to do is easy to setup.
