This probably a side effect of using debhelper compat level 11.

Now the question is what the desired outcome is; there are two
*.examples files which partly install the same files into the -doc
and the -dev package, which looks a bit surprising to me anyway.

Personally, I'd tend to install the demos (only) into the -dev
package, as that's what it says on the tin (long description).
That's what the attached debdiff does.


Cheers,
