I think setting a variable is one straight forward way to go about solving the problem, conditionally running tasks if the variable is set. See this: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_conditionals.html#applying-when-to-roles-and-includes
Another way is to create a group of devel servers in inventory or dynamically, and create a play that only runs on the devel group.
