Hi doubledoubleagentj,
I worry that this isn't the best practice.
Don't worry about that, you just has an extra step to copy these files to the target location. Based on my experience, the best practice should be that you publish these files directly to the Ubuntu folder.
And here is an article about how to use publish tool, please take it as reference.
