I'm aware of the patch (I even contributed to it, see [1]), but I confirm that the stterm package aims at packaging st as released upstream, with no patches. Note that the patch is not "official": like the others listed at [2] it only happens to be hosted on the st website. I suggest filing a bug against the suckless-tools package requesting the inclusion of 'scroll', however note that [3] still says At the moment it is in an experimental state. Its not recommended for productive use. so the suckless-tools maintainer may object. (The standard upstream suggestion for scrolling back with st is using a terminal multiplexer, see the FAQ file included with the package.) I hope this helps.
