initial version

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".
