Dear maintainer,

While scratching my (Release Team member's) itch in my merge request
number 2, I noticed that your package ships test artifacts in
codec2-examples that are absent when the build is run with the nocheck
option. Policy isn't totally clear on it, but the build profile spec
[2] assumes that the content shouldn't change and I tend to agree with
that part of the spec.

Please prevent test artifacts in codec2-examples. I'll update my MR
shortly to include *an* implementation to achieve that. I'm not
totally happy with the implementation, because it hardcodes somewhat
which files shouldn't be installed, but my other efforts didn't
work. I have to note that completely disabling the dh_auto_test line
achieves the same. You ignore failure of the test, so build wise it
wouldn't harm to remove it but I assume you look at it once in a
while, so didn't want to drop the test altogehter.

Paul
