We haven't reached a consensus about package structure, and I don't
think we will reach one in the near future. I personally
think that examples and tests are needed in a binary package, and that
they can't be in a -doc package since they aren't really documentation.

The best is to pospone our decision about structure until the Ubuntu
Automated Tests proposal starts releasing some code, so we know what we
can do. This will probably happen in the next two or three months.

Please do so. We could always Confict the -dev package in a later
release.

Thank you for your help,
