i'm not sure whether "being accessible" qualifies  as "requirement".
the footnote explicitely says that "The system administrator should be
able to delete files in /usr/share/doc/ without causing any programs to
break."

deleting the examples in their current installation directory, will not
change Pd/Gem's usability in any way.

nevertheless, i guess moving the docs to /usr/share/gem is not so bad


btw, the problem applies to "puredata" as well, having it's entire
non-necessary documentation within /usr/share/doc/puredata.
