Honestly, I wasn't unsure about this split. 

On the one hand, I do see a gain as many people will not use all mrpt programs,
so they can install what I guess are the most useful ones. Each subpackage
carries its own executable, plus a subdirectory in /share/ with sample
script/configuration files, so I also see a good thing that only those files of
the programs of interest are installed.

OTOH, I have to admit that the package namespace is messed up with this change,
while there's not a huge gain in disk space.

If your final opinion is to leave all programs in mrpt-apps, I would see that
fine. In that case, I might also join "mrpt-example-datasets" back into
"mrpt-apps" as it was in the beginning.
