In that case you grab the source package from the distribution, install
it, bump the version number and add the tar file to the SOURCES
directory. (And then you remove the patches which were upstreamed in the
meantime).
It isn't as easy as rpmbuild -ta, but it gets everything placed in the
right location and it preserves the distro-specific patches.
