How to get packer to use "dev" version of plugin

The GNUmakefile supplied with this project helpfully provides a dev target that builds the plugin and copies it to ~/.packer.d/plugins. However I am currently unable to get packer to use that generated version.

Here is what "packer-plugin-lxdapi describe" returns for me
{"version":"0.0.4-dev","sdk_version":"0.3.1","api_version":"x5.0","builders":["builder"],"post_processors":[],"provisioners":[],"datasources":[]}

Here is the output from packer when I try to use my plugin. You can see that it finds the plugin under "/home/dman/.packer.d/plugins/packer-plugin-lxdapi". However I cant seem to find a packer invocation / version specification where I could coax packer into using this locally built packer plugin over the ones that are uploaded from github.

Could you please clarify what the local development workflow for plugins should look like?

Start with the GNUmakefile's dev target and the reported Packer plugin discovery output, including the version constraint for 0.0.4-dev. Clarify the local development workflow for using the generated plugin, and consider the work complete when the documented invocation or version specification explains how to select it over uploaded versions.
