Can't help you on this.

I sent pull requests to the plugin builder github repository to integrate new 
makefile rules, including deploy and upload to official plugin repository.
This and the plugin reloader plugin lets you test a new plugin version with a 
few keystrokes (make deploy, switch to qgis, F5).
You can find it at :

Hope that helps,
