Lintian tag: package-does-not-install-examples

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The original source tarball contains the specified examples directory.
However, no examples are installed in any binary packages.

Please use dh_installexamples to install these to the most relevant
package, for example by adding the directory name followed by a wildcard
to a debian/pkgname.examples file.

Lintian looks for any directory called examples under /usr/share/doc in
all binary packages.

Please refer to the dh_installexamples(1) manual page for details.

Visibility: pedantic
Show-Always: no
Check: examples

Screen: examples/in-tests
Advocates: "Scott Kitterman" <debian@kitterman.com>
Reason: 
Some sources like python-tomlkit trigger this tag for tests because of files
in ./tests/examples/. They are not examples for tomlkit, however. They are
examples of TOML files used in the tests.

Overall, the check is probably better off not looking in test
directories.
