package-does-not-install-examples

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.

Severity: pedantic
Experimental: false

examples/in-tests

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.
