One other thing that I forgot about :

In addition to

   Fsplit $pkgname-demos /usr/share/doc/$pkgname/examples

 I think there should also be a

  Fsplit $pkgname-demos /usr/share/doc/$pkgname/demos

line added. It is after all called the demos package and I see no
reason why the demos can't be copied and the demosdir is set :
-demosdir /usr/share/doc/$pkgname/demos . It's just the the split then
omits it.
