[maemo-developers] Testing apps

Ive built a command-line app. I can bring up the Maemo UI and run the tool 
from Terminal just fine (from inside its source folder), however related 
utilities that come with the tool dont work - Im assuming I need to do a 
make install to fully test it.

I could install it but then Im 'polluting' my dev environment with 
something that may not work and may be hard to remove all traces of 
correctly. What's a good strategy to test then? Should I make a package 
and use the package manager to install, test and uninstall? How do 
developers test apps like this?
