That seems by far the cleanest solution to me. Especially
development-oriented packages often contain example directories;
removing x-bits there only puts extra-burden on someone trying to play
with the examples.

On a related note, rpmlint also warns (don't know if we have a
corresponding guideline) about empty files, even when in %doc, but in
some cases these might indeed be wanted.
