To my mind, if you have examples that you want to be runnable by the user
and you want them to not have to perform chmod 0755 to achieve that, you'd
also want rpm to ensure that the dependencies for those examples are
installed.

Alternately, the user can be expected to chmod the scripts and install the
necessary deps themselves.

So either this guideline is fine or the idea that examples shouldn't drag in
new deps is where the flaw lies.
