I'm not very happy with that solution, because I like to have my test
scenario as close to the production scenario as possible. Maybe the
normal way would be to deploy Sling into a Servlet container, in this
case the launchpad/testing is a good solution, but we rather would use
the standalone app. IMHO create a second profile in launchpad/app
could satisfy this wish without side effect, or am I wrong?

The pom.xml from launchpad/testing is also not pointing to
the newest source by now. Following patch would correct that:
