Is there not something analogous to contrib/ in the packaging system?
Debian likes to put these sorts of things in /usr/share/doc/foo/examples

There are at least half a dozen things in contrib/ that should get
installed -somewhere- on a user's system. It'd probably be best if the
whole directory were copied.
