A package built from src:python3.x or src:python3-defaults might ship such a file, but no ordinary python3-$MODULE package. (Maybe python3-examples could.) Maybe ask the python maintainers whether /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/ is a "namespace invasion". >> in case lintian uses some wildcards for this >> check) to the list of overly generic file names. > > Please forgive me.
