Hi,

Thanks for the patch. New contributors are most welcome.

That depends on the situation. Sometimes 'extra' scripts form part of 
the regular distribution and included as normal, sometimes they are 
included as separate outputs if they are large in size (or as separate 
packages), and sometimes they are simply not included. It really depends 
on what you'd like to see packaged (and maintained).

Yes please. It isn't quite clear to me at this stage, but I would 
imagine a separate patch would be required.

Thanks.
