Hi Lukas,
We currently have a different approach. All our _dev files are outside
the web directory. That way, it will never be available on our
production machines. If we need it on production for debugging
purposes, we simply temporarily copy/symlink the _dev file inside the
web directory, and once we're done, we remove the file.
To prevent accidental deployment of _dev files to production, we also
have them (inside the web directory) excluded from rsyncing. Our
deployment strategy is not to checkout on production, but to checkout
locally and use the symfony sync command to deploy to the production
environment.
Hopefully this is helpful?
