I think I've worked out what is happening here. The examples are being
built but not installed to the image folder in the do_install step and
thus there's nothing to package and the qtbase-examples package is ignored

I've committed a change to do_install_append() in a dizzy branch on a DD
fork of meta-qt5 which I think copies the files across correctly
