A patch for that was just submitted to this bugreport.
Thanks.
It's good practice to include the Find modules for any dependencies that
are not part of cmake itself to not need upstream projects to install
cmake modules for them.
I think it is deprecated legacy practice, not good practice. Find
modules are poorly standardized, poorly maintained, and poorly tested.
It would be much better to provide PROJ config files as soon as
possible, instead of letting more developers start using PROJ with
non-standard find modules picked from random internet locations.
I wonder if there is a blocker for building debian PROJ with CMake. I
build PROJ for Android, macOS, Windows from Debian tarballs - with
cmake, not using debian/rules.

The CMake build of PROJ doesn't seem to provide a pkgconfig file, but
even for mips64el, the single proj.pc looks much less complex than the
set of cmake config files, or the patch proposed for FindProj4.cmake.
Kind regards,
Kai
