when setting my TEXINPUTS to LaTeX-proposal//, any \input{propB} (as an example) would also see the propB.tex in the examples directory under LaTeX-proposal//. While this may still be acceptable for sources present in $PWD (tex should find these first) it poses a risk if it comes to the autogenerated .pdata and .delivs . If sth goes wrong in generating the .pdata (as it did due to the eupdata.sty bug, tex will then take the .pdata in the examples dir. For someone starting a new proposal from a given example, this can be very hard to detect. i guess for this reason, the examples are not included in the ctan package (make ctan).

I agree this is very unfortunate. I think the only way to really change this is to move the examples directories to the top level.

I have reorganized the directory layout and now things should be fixed. Thanks for the report.
