Hi,
I am observing packages in FE installing examples/demos to /usr/bin.
Do people agree upon this to be good packaging practice or not?
IMHO examples and demos should be treated like normal code _BUT_ always spinned of in a separate subpackage. This way you get proper packaging and only people who really need them will have them on the filesystem.
I hate packages that dump examples and demos in a random place without any real checks and have the main package swelled by this payload.
