[Fedora-packaging] Where to install examples to?

Hi,

I am observing packages in FE installing examples/demos to /usr/bin.

Do people agree upon this to be good packaging practice or not?


IMO, it is not, because 
* This gradually fills up /usr/bin.
* Many such examples/demos are semi-functional or less and have never
been designed to be used by the public.

I'd recommend to install examples/demos to either
/usr/lib/<package>/
or even to 
/usr/share/doc/<package>

Opinions, comments?

Ralf
