I found it confusing that debian/libgtkdatabox-doc.docs is installing to /usr/share/doc/libgtkdatabox-dev in the libgtkdatabox-doc binary, but this seems in line with policy ยง12.3 and changed with debhelper 11. I think the solution here is to move the examples from the libgtkdatabox-dev binary to the libgtkdatabox-doc binary and also fix #857776 at the same time. I'll take another look at this tomorrow.
