>The script is only placed in examples/. According to `dpkg --listfiles mrtg-contrib`, the package contains only files placed in examples. So, it is not just extra stuff in the package, the whole package is extra stuff.

Well, if there's a policy violation, I think I picked the appropriate severity. If there's not, maybe the policy should mention that common debian rules does not applies to examples/ content (If it already does, it should be mentioned in 12.6). So, in your opinion, is it a policy violation, a flaw in the policy or something in the policy I missed and that's is not proeminently mentioned in section 12.6?
