After a remark made by Clint and some thought.

CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL is not covering the whole need
and I think we need a
CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL_GROUPS_IN_ONE_PACKAGE options.

Have a look at the updated bug entry and the description of
all cases:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10736

There is a fifth patch to the current patchset to propose that.

Clint would you be able to give it a try and tell us if with
this last patch (still cumulative) your needs are covered?
