This one does not change the original, so it can be considered merely
a  repackaging or distribution of the original unmodified work.

No. A PKGBUILD that patches the original code is a derivative work.
It does not merely apply the interfaces provided by the original
work to build it; it changes it. Therefore, it becomes a derivative
work. The PKGBUILD is the source code of its result, together with
the works it derives from.
