It looks like this was due to the cleanup of the debs.
If you checkout and build the opencv2 package from source (with e.g. svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/branches/2.2/opencv and then CD into that package and type make), you'll find that it does download and build the samples, but they are never moved out of the build directory. Part of the deb cleanup was to remove all build directories from packages so that the debs did not include a bunch of intermediate object files, only finished executables and libraries.
If you think that the samples should be available to deb users, filing a ticket would be the best way to get them re-included. If the samples are large, it might be best for the build system to provide a second .deb that includes just the samples that could be installed in addition to the standard vision_opencv deb file. I can't really say whether or not the samples were intentionally kept out to keep the debs small or if it was just an oversight.
