Are these binaries from code examples for some library or similar?
If yes, it might make better sense not to include the binaries, but only
the source code in /usr/share/doc/<package-name>-demos-<ver>
and make sure there is a functioning Makefile to build the binaries,
i.e. allow the user to 'cp -a /usr/share/doc/<package-name>-demos-<ver>
.' and then make.
