python setup.py install place examples files in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/examples/

While trying to package almost latest svn version ( revision2816 ) for testing purposes, i have seen that python setup.py place examples in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/examples/.

Could they be moved in django/, as this is likely to cause problem with other python modules that would do the same, or maybe not installed at all ( or with the documentation ), as example code should not be in /usr/lib/python2.4/ ?

this is still installing examples.help. Looking at find_packages, it doesn't filter out submodules, so doing something like "find_packages(exclude=examples)" I don't believe is sufficient to fix this problem. Perhaps a "[p for p in find_packages() if not p.startswith('examples')]"?
