Is providing launch file for each node really useful for users?
I think the ROS beginners can't use <include>
tag in roslaunch and professionals don't use <include>
because it is less customizable (can't use nodelet with an nodelet manager).
IMO providing sample launch files is enough, because user can copy the lines from it.
yes, I'm aware of nodelt case, and try to rewrite all launch file with nodelt and 'use_standalone' arg option to run manager for each launch file.
from https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv/issues/121,
rosrun opencv_apps camshift
did not work,with launch file
roslaunch --rosargs camshift.launch

+1 for installing launch
directory.
Also +1 for the idea of making a node definition "portable/dependable" by making them a launch file.
this will provide re-usable launch file for opencv_apps users
