The main reason is that CPack was first design as a standalone tool that
can be used without CMake.
I guess that some project may still be using that way.
CMake has a "simple" way to generate CPackConfig.cmake file that drives the
CPack run but you can generate those files
by other mean and still be using CPack, without CMake.

I made comment on this commit, basically don't generate *any* file in
source tree it's a [relatively] bad habit.
If a file is an artefact of the build then it belongs to build tree.

As a matter of fact you CI build tree seems to <source_tree>/tmp (from your
configure script) but if ever this is changing it'll break the build
use CMAKE_BINARY_DIR.

I think it should work now but your CI will show you if it's ok.

Now concerning your CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX if your CI is producing ready to
use .deb / .rpm etc... package then
you'd better use "/opt" as a prefix as suggested by Craig.
