Thanks for this feedback.
We have quite strong support for this request in SQL Change Automation projects, which support multiple pre- and post- deployment scripts and which also have an option to “seed data” for larger tables which you would like to populate: https://documentation.red-gate.com/sca/developing-databases/concepts/data-population/strategies-for-data-population
For SQL Source Control, we now support pre- and post- deployment scripts, however you are limited to only one of each type. Additionally, the seed data methodology is not available in SQL Source Control.

We are actually taking a client away from the scenario you describe (backup + restore), as the issues they face are not having any visibility of changes to datasets for integration / acceptance testing - coupled with the fact this is across a number of different countries where the static data is different too.
The focus for our client is to get everything under source control - if it's not under source control then it doesn't exist. Having their seed script for an environment + country combination now gives them a greater understanding of how this dataset has changed. Being able to manage this from within SQL Source Control would just be a value add.
We currently create the db from the package and then have a subsequent step in OD to seed the data using a script from the same package - using the conventions that OD gives us in the form of the Country and Environment we are deploying to.
