Hi,
when an upstream supplies an examples directory, it is tempting to put
"examples" into the foo.examples file because the manpage explicitly
says so.
This results in /usr/share/doc/package/examples/examples.
Maybe debhelper could special-case this?
Greetings

Hi,
I am not going to special-case it in the code, but I will add the
following in the documentation:
"""
If upstream provides an F<examples> directory, you will often want to
use B<examples/*> rather than B<examples> in this file. The latter
would create F<< /usr/share/doc/I<package>/examples/examples >>, which
is rarely what you want.

Thanks,
