'...get build when they are not updated.'? This makes no sense to me. Is
the 'not' correct here? If not then I assume you want to automatically
rebuild local_src packages when the code changes.

There is no integrated solution for this, but it's all make dependencies,
so you can implement something yourself.
If the local_src package has a separate git repository, then you could add
a dependency like this:

$(STATEDIR)/<pkg>.<commitish>.githash:
	rm $(STATEDIR)/<pkg>.*.githash
	touch $@

$(STATEDIR)/<pkg>.prepare: $(STATEDIR)/<pkg>.<commitish>.githash

and generate the commitish with
$(call ptx/force-sh,git -C <dir> rev-parse HEAD)
or something like that.

I'm open to ideas on howto integrate this better. Maybe track
$(<PKG>_VERSION) changes. The you could add the appropriate shell code
there to generate some version string.
Hmm, maybe some helper macro to generate a useful version.
