There is no standard way of explicitly distributing patches for binary
packages (i. e. deb files). However, if you download packages using
rsync, you should come pretty close to the desired result.

However, I do not know whether there is already a working standard
tool that makes this convenient. I remember having heard about an
"apt-rsync" project, but it's not official yet.
