The problem is that there is no "just move" thing. Doc packages are
built separately from examples, and we would have to do a fairly
lengthy process to sort out those xml files form the rest of the doc.

We currently lack lots of tests because we are very limited in man
power. It's not just adding them but also keeping them up to date.
That being said please do not hesitate in filling bugs for examples
missing dependencies.
