Content Type Publishing does not publish SPD reusable workflow along with Content Type for SharePoint 2010

Content type Publishing will include workflow associations, but not the workflow themselves. It is by design , In SharePoint 2010, Content Type Publishing will include the workflow association, however the actual workflow is not published. To work around this behavior, workflows should be manually created or transferred to the site before the Content Type and workflow association are published.
