in the qt4 and qt5 examples, mainwindow.cpp is compressed
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed in 2019 after the examples were removed; the mainwindow.cpp.gz packaging behavior was never root-caused or directly fixed.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Maintainer @sergiusens closed the report after noting, "we removed the examples." The affected feature was therefore decommissioned rather than corrected.

Issue body
For some reason I fail to understand, the installed qt4 and qt5 demos get one of the cpp files compressed. See mainwindow.cpp.gz:
elopio@calchas:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/snapcraft-examples/examples/qt5-text-editor/src/
application.pro application.qrc images main.cpp mainwindow.cpp.gz mainwindow.h
elopio@calchas:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/snapcraft-examples/examples/qt4-text-editor/src/
application.pro application.qrc images main.cpp mainwindow.cpp.gz mainwindow.h
To reproduce:
sudo apt install snapcraft-examples=2.12
