It is the intended behavior that only generated artifacts (e.g. executables, libraries and generated code) are placed in the devel
folder. It is explicitly avoided to copy files from source
to devel
.
The recommended way is that you place your launch files in a subfolder launch
inside of your package and in the installations step make sure to install them to ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION}/launch
.
Please describe why you need to "mess around" with the launch files and user files because of that in order to get a more precise answer how to deal with "user files".
