Mind you, reading your README reminds me I probably want dh --buildsystem=cmake anyway, rather than dh --with cmake.

dh doesn't document its --buildsystem option properly. The dh man page documents --with but not --buildsystem (which gets mentioned only in an example). But that's not dh-cmake's fault!

You'll need both `--buildsystem=cmake` and one of `dh-sequence-cmake` (modern, preferable) or `--with cmake` (old, deprecated). `--buildsystem=cmake` is provided by Debhelper proper, and existed long before dh-cmake, while `--with cmake` and `dh-sequence-cmake` are provided by dh-cmake. They have different purposes. `--buildsystem=cmake` controls the configuration step, while `dh-sequence-cmake` controls the installation step.
