How about this:

  Any examples (configurations, source files, whatever), should be 
  installed in a directory /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples'. These  
  files should not be referenced by any program--they're there     
  for the benefit of the system administrator and users, as documentation       
- only. 
+ only. Architecture-specific example files should be installed in a directory
+ /usr/lib/<package>/examples, and files in
+ /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples symlink to files in it. Or the latter
  directory may be a symlink to the former.
