I would find that inappropriate. In the structure of upstream's code, the examples split does totally make sense, they have also split their C and c++ bindings into two subdirectories. I am reluctant to ask upstream to change their structure because of a shortcoming in our tools. I will file a wishlist bug against debhelper to support a target directory for lines in foo.examples. > If you're only after workarounds, there are two options: > > Run dh_installexamples twice. First install the C++ examples, then > mkdir c++, then mv * c++, then install the C examples. That won't work with the foo.examples file approach. But I might not be awake yet. > Read the dh_installexamples code and adapt the `cd && find | sort | > xargs cp` command that dh_installexamples is just a wrapper for. That's the "install manually" approach. I will probably do that in my package. Thanks for helping!
