Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.004
Severity: normal
The example scripts ought to be found in the canonical place¹
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/examples, but they are only in
/usr/share/kernel-package/examples. You probably want to turn
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/examples into a symlink to
/usr/share/kernel-package/examples.

I know policy.
These are not examples for kernel-package. These are examples
for the image packages, and they are indeed in the correct palce in the
image packages. Perhaps I can add a symlink in place in kernel-package,
but by no means is this a policy violation, or a normal bug.
