So now on the 1.0 maintenance branch (coming soon to trunk, once I'm
done wrangling with svnmerge) you can set new rc parameters
examples.download to False and examples.directory to the directory where
you have a checkout of the sample data¹. Then get_sample_data will only
look in this directory and not download anything.

Does this help with the Debian and Ubuntu builds?
