I agree with Marc. I would have appreciated being able to find these scripts in the /usr/share/doc/bcfg2-server/examples folder. I think it is unnecessary (and perhaps even inappropriate) for a package to have dependencies for example scripts contained within the doc subdirectory. That said, a word of warning about this particular script. I retrieved it from upstream and found that it needs site-specific customization. It is unlikely to be usable out of the box because you cannot configure your own set of APT sources without changing the actual code. It's an easy change, and this seems acceptable for a script in a doc/.../examples subdirectory, but trying to make it usable from a config file will take more work.
