Well, actually you need to have the call to dh_installexamples in
debian/rules in order to process the debian/*.examples files.
Alternatively, instead of providing a separate file you could pass
examples as arguments to the dh_installexamples call, but that's up to
you. Generally, I'd say, if it does not fit on one line in debian/rules,
it belongs into a separate file.

If you cannot find an explicit call to dh_installexamples in a
debian/rules file, this is most probably because this file uses the
debhelper short form which at some point calls "dh install" which in
turn calls dh_installexamples.
