Hi,

I have an upstream that ships one set of examples in ./examples, and one
more set of examples in ./c++/examples. This makes sense in the upstream
tree, so I am not going to suggest rearranging this.

However, dh_installexamples doesn't handle this too gracefulle. I had to
do an ugly workaround in execute_after_dh_installexamples.

I would like to be able to write things like

examples
c++/examples c++

in my package.examples to have the contents of ./examples installed to
/usr/share/doc/package/examples and the contents of ./c++/examples to
/usr/share/doc/package/examples/c++.

Greetings
Marc
