a package-examples might be trivial to add now, but you are the maintainer
you have to know your users' expectations. If you think an example
packages is useful you can add it.

In my experience, example source code is quite useful when added to a
-doc package and used for package testing with autopkgtest. That way,
your test serves the double purpose of CI-testing and documenting how
to build the examples from source.
