ACK; additionally:

* it may add additional dependencies; e.g. when haing a C project which
  ships a perl script as demo, the entire package will require perl.

  Packaging the demo into /usr/lib or as %doc will not help much as
  rpm generates deps for all files (inclusive %doc) :( So a separate
  subpackage will be the best solution.
