Comment 7 for bug 317602

No, you did not look at the wrong package. As I said, the source upstream tarball comes pre-debianised in a basic, incomplete, and wrong, way. All the sample *.ex and *.EX are added this way (as can be seen by looking at the orig.tar). I did not change these files, I tried to take them out. It really looks like upstream just ran dh_make, and then packaged the distribution tarball.

I discussed this on #ubuntu-motu, and got no definite answer on how to proceed.
