You probably used CMake to build PROJ, the Debian package uses
Autotools
and IIRC the CMake files are only built & installed when using CMake.
Yes of course I used cmake. Haven't used Autotools for a long time.
But regardless of the used build tools shouldn't a distribution
package contain everything? Does every project using cmake and PROJ
have to maintain it's own reincarnation of the cmake script just
because Debian packages are missing it? That does not sound very sane
to me.
It's not just the Debian package, it all PROJ packages that use
Autotools this includes at least Fedora & NetBSD.
Ideally the result of the CMake and Autotools builds is identical, but
this is hard to achieve. Projects that support both tend to have CMake
support for Windows mostly.

libquazip5-dev does provide the file, but it's not installed in the
standard CMake modules path:
/usr/share/quazip/FindQuaZip5.cmake
Well I am not that much of a package and Linux guru but if I have a
look at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/ I find loads of find scripts. I
can't tell if that is because many packages think this is the correct
path or because the SuSE maintainers simply do it that way.
Anyway I think it's good practice to take stuff that is the same for
each project away from projects. And maintaining a reincarnation of a
cmake configuration script is such stuff for sure. These cmake scripts
in QMS had their origin from times where most projects like PROJ where
not aware of cmake. But this is about 10 years ago and meanwhile most
projects provide these files.
Thus wouldn't it be better to take them over in the packages?
In Debian the standard CMakes file are in
/usr/share/cmake-<VERSION_MARJOR>.<VERSION_MINOR>/Modules/ which means
that packages need to be rebuilt for every new CMake minor release to
install their CMake files in the versioned directory.
In my opinion you can only rely on modules included in CMake itself,
anything else should be included in QMS for robustness sake.
So just apply my patches and everyone not on OpenSUSE is happy that they
can build QMS out-of-the box again.
Kind Regards,
