Right. So maybe the guideline should look something like: It's permissable to include executable example scripts in the main packages docdir (%doc) as long as they don't cause additional package dependencies. If the example scripts do cause extra dependencies to be pulled in, either remove the executable bit, or package the examples in a separate subpackage (eg. foo-examples).
