Bug#745237: freecad: unclear situation w.r.t. example files (source package vs. binary packages vs. debian/copyright)

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: freecad
Version: 0.13.2935-dfsg-1.1
Severity: important

Hello,
I see that bug #726805 is unfortunately still unfixed...
While reviewing it, I noticed another part of the debian/copyright file
which is unclear and seems to be outdated.  I was going to add a comment
to #726805 bug log, but, on a second thought, I reached the conclusion
that there's something more unclear than a simple outdated
debian/copyright file: I therefore decided that this issue deserves a
separate bug report.

The problem is that the debian/copyright file lists the following files:

  Files: data/examples/DrawingExample.FCStd data/examples/PartDesignExample.FCStd data/examples/RobotExample.FCStd data/examples/Schenkel.stp
  Copyright: 2011 Juergen Riegel <juergen.riegel at web.de>

  Files: data/examples/EngineBlock.FCStd

Well, it seems to me that almost all these files have disappeared
from the source package:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/freecad.git;a=tree;f=data/examples;h=4517d74b346f2ac90676b1b1db9959f9c2d02984;hb=cd4127aae7de514e5347e890d007a383386d4aa1

Only data/examples/Schenkel.stp seems to survive in the source package
currently in unstable and testing.
However, I cannot find it in any of the binary packages built from
the source package... Am I wrong that the file in question is not
actually shipped in any binary package?

If this is really the case, then please drop the data/examples/
directory from the source package (by repacking it) and
remove the above quoted lines from the debian/copyright file.

I hope this can be done soon.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort to maintain this package!
Bye.
