Yes, I already wondered about this when looking at the PKGBUIL source

a package which has been discussed before.
So, the most important result for me is, I've learned some interesting
details about the package system.
And the answer is, you're not the first person to want something like that:
- customizepkg provides a framework for applying differences to packages
Hm, there's incomplete documentation about this, especially about how to
override PKGBUILDs.
E.g. for firefox: Would I have to name the file "firefox-52.0-2-x86_64",
"firefox-52.0-2", "firefox-52.0", "firefox-52", or just "firefox"?
- yaourt is capable of autodetecting a repo package that has a
customizepkg configuration, and building that package from source
instead of syncing the prebuilt package.
I'm currently using pacaur - what do I have to be aware of when changing
to yaourt?
Kind regards
