Is that an address you want to have in git history?
You already have two, just making sure the third one is intentional.

Hmm, that's very weird.

1. you test whether a binary exists _at configure time_ but the binary
   is only created during the build. So, the test is always false,
   unless you re-run cmake after the build, which is not a normal build
   procedure.

2. you create a symlink _at install time_ but in a
   CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR. This is strange decision.
   Normally, build step creates files in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR,
   and install step creates files in INSTALL_BINDIR.
   
Basically, to fix that you should either create symlinks as a new build
target that dependents on binaries being created first. And then install
these symlinks normally. Or create symlinks during install time directly
at the correct install location, not in the binary dir.

Why there's a separate rpm with symlinks, but no separate deb with
symlinks (they're direcly in the client deb) ?

Why would you want different approaches for deb and rpm?

Also you seem to symlink a lot more files in deb than in rpm or in tar.gz.
