Compiling from source gives you control over the whole process, patches applied etc and provides with the the latest code updates, no need to wait for a maintainer to update his stuff.
Also, you can create a script that does everything automatically, there is no need to do it manually if you use git. I have a script that updates the git's of mesa, drm, glamor, xf86-ati and builds+installs .deb packages from them (multiarch for mesa). Only interruption is when it asks for the password to install them.
