I think these are those that are installed via the %doc line that is
usually used to include files like LICENSE and README. Files under
%{_docdir} should be allowed to be executable (example scripts using
some interface (uzbl does this)), but I would think these are usually
installed by the package itself or handled in the %install step with
manual install commands.
