Description:
The msmtp package contains a script "msmtp-gnome-tool.py" in /usr/share/doc/msmtp/msmtp-gnome-tool/ that is used to manage msmtp passwords in gnome-keyring. As it stands, the script is installed with mods making it only executable as root, which is not very useful. I'd like to propose to change the mods on the script to 755 during installation so that unprivileged users can use it. It might also be appropiate to install/link the script to /usr/bin. Additional info: * msmtp 1.4.32-1 Steps to reproduce: As user, run "/usr/share/doc/msmtp/msmtp-gnome-tool/msmtp-gnome-tool.py" |

I disagree with you evaluation of upstream, after all, the release note states that "The new script msmtp-gnome-tool.py manages Gnome Keyring passwords for msmtp.". The changelog mentions something similar. There is no indication however that this script is not meant to be a useful working script.
Besides that, what does it matter whether the script is intended as an example or not? It is perfectly functional and useful, so why not treat it as such?
# Installing example configs and scripts to /usr/share/doc/msmtp
# as they are not installed by default (Debian and Gentoo do it this way)
If you disagree, contact upstream.
