Probably the fact that documentation is very rarely supposed to be executable. Why are you putting scripts in the documentation directory? If it's an example, there's no reason for it to be +x. If it's something the user is supposed to run (or that is supposed to be run by another program) you'll want it in /usr/share, because /usr/share/doc cannot be relied upon to exist. - Matt
