Hello Afif,
In that case I agree it doesn't really matter whether gridengine.default
is in examples or not. I've attached a patch that simply change the
postinst script so that it takes the copy from
/usr/share/gridengine-common/ instead of /usr/share/doc/gridengine-common/.

Here is the patch -- I made usr/share/gridengine-common a soft link to
usr/share/doc/gridengine-common in rules, and changed references to
usr/share/doc/gridengine-common in various files in the debian
directory. It compiled and was installable, and lintian and piuparts
completed successfully.
The documentation itself should stay in /usr/share/doc/; that shouldn't
need to be in /usr/share/gridengine-common. I believe the only thing
that needs to move is the gridengine.default file.
I traced the problem to commit 50d1580b5b91f65e9a33a205a90a7c6925d45e8d,
where it appears that putting this file under examples/ was done so that
it could be used as a template configuration for debconf.
I'm not sure if gridengine.default really needs to be an example after
reading the Debian policy description for it [1]. I'd be inclined to
just install this file as /usr/share/gridengine/gridengine.default and
adjust the scripts to find it there. If you (as a sysadmin) think it's
also useful as an example, then we could add a symlink to this location
from /usr/share/doc/gridengine-common/examples/, but I'm not sure that's
necessary.
What do you think?
