To which component do they belong to?

Nothing obvious beside the fact that CPack DEB generator does not handle
COMPONENT by default...
Could you try (in the DEB case) to:

set(CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL 1)
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING ALL_COMPONENTS_IN_ONE)

You usage should definitely work without that but I guess
there is a neat interaction between CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS
features and COMPONENT handling.

By the way do you set a value for CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
or do you leave it unset?
