What I usually do is that I set the OCAMLPATH variable so that ocamlfind
can find the not-yet packaged or installed version of the just compiled
library. Of course, this requires that you structure your source
repository so that this is possible, e.g. I often use

src/library-name/<folder for library incl. META>

and then OCAMLPATH=<dir>/src works (use a colon-separated path if you
have several of such locations).

Still, this means that you have to clean and rebuild often, but you are
at least skipping the installation part.
