If it's part of the program, I'd probably include it in the default
location. Pat does the same thing with systemd scripts.¹ He won't modify a
package to remove functionality that others might choose to later use
simply to save a few KB.

If it isn't included with the program by default, that is more up to you.
It may not be a bad idea to include it in the doc directory with a note in
the README that it's available if someone wants to incorporate it, or using
Chris's idea of keeping scripts in a separate repo.
