Yes, the solution is to copy plugin's source files to output/ dir
together with the generated ones during 'make' in addition to 'make
install'. But still you probably would want to symlink your plugin to
~/.qgis/python/plugins because otherwise you would need to run 'make'
every time after changing your source .py files to get it updated
within output/ dir.
