Most of them seemed to use KeyboardInterrups, which do not work in the
build container (I suppose because /dev/stdin is not a TTY?).

Origins can also be inherited:

(source (origin
         (inherit (package-source python-3.7))
         (uri ...)
         (sha256 ...)
         (patches (append (origin-patches (package-source python-3.7))
                          (search-patches "python-3.8-adjust-tests.patch")))))

That would inherit the snippet and any other properties that are not
explicitly overridden.

HTH,
