It doesn't make much sense to do a *dev* install from stable. Do your dev install from a git clone.
Just follow the instructions in INSTALL.debian. When it asks you for a separate place to put config files (default ~/koha-dev/) that's where your real config ends up, like: ~/koha-dev/etc/koha-httpd.conf
Don't tell it to put it on top of the template file (or inside your kohaclone dir), that would be weird. You still have to do perl Makefile.PL; make; make install; # of course.

perl Makefile.PL creates a complete Makefile when run from the stable tar,
but if instead I choose a dev install from kohaclone after git pull,
the Makefile is
incomplete. Hence my dev version of koha-httpd.conf contains only
variable names:
## OPAC
<VirtualHost __WEBSERVER_IP__:__WEBSERVER_PORT__>
ServerAdmin __WEBMASTER_EMAIL__
DocumentRoot __OPAC_WWW_DIR__
ServerName __WEBSERVER_HOST__
# ServerAlias opac.mydomain.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "__OPAC_CGI_DIR__/opac/"
ScriptAlias /index.html "__OPAC_CGI_DIR__/opac/opac-main.pl"
ScriptAlias /opac-search.pl "__OPAC_CGI_DIR__/opac/search"
ScriptAlias /search "__OPAC_CGI_DIR__/opac/search"
ErrorLog __LOG_DIR__/koha-opac-error_log
# TransferLog __LOG_DIR__/koha-opac-access_log
SetEnv KOHA_CONF "__KOHA_CONF_DIR__/koha-conf.xml"
SetEnv PERL5LIB "__PERL_MODULE_DIR__"
What am I missing?
