I agree. I tried to put the sample executables in 
/usr/share/ortools/examples, but since there are executable files they 
are not welcome here. Moreover the sample names are very generic so I 
would like to move them out of /usr/bin in order to avoid $PATH pollution.

Do you know where I can place these executable files in the Debian package?

Thanks,

Agathe.
