Summary:                    Wrong default value of
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
Description: 
As far as I could found, the default value of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
should be "${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME} ${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}" (see
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-September/039663.html), however if you
look at CPack.cmake, you will find the following (line 381):
    cpack_set_if_not_set(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
      "${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY}")

Is it intentionally?
BTW, the documentation of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY is incomplete (no
default value explained) at
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cpack.html#variable:CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
