With the current design, you already need to copy the config file to
/etc/aurweb/ on changes or use the AUR_CONFIG environment variable to
point to an alternative path (TESTING uses the latter). So maybe create
a development version of the config file as you suggested, add the
dev-only options only there and update the TESTING instructions to use
that file instead of the production config defaults?
