Summary:                    CPack-generated Debian packages do not comply to
Debian policy (discovered via lintian)
Description: 
Running lintian on a CPack-generated Debian package produces the following
output (some warnings not related to CPack bugs have been removed; our package
name is "rsb0.7", the library is called "librsbcore.so"):

E: rsb0.7: control-file-has-bad-permissions md5sums 0640 != 0644
E: rsb0.7: no-copyright-file                                          [1]
W: rsb0.7: non-standard-dir-perm usr/ 0700 != 0755                    [2]
W: rsb0.7: non-standard-dir-perm usr/bin/ 0700 != 0755
W: rsb0.7: non-standard-dir-perm usr/include/ 0700 != 0755
W: rsb0.7: non-standard-dir-perm usr/lib/ 0700 != 0755
W: rsb0.7: non-standard-dir-perm usr/share/ 0700 != 0755
E: rsb0.7: md5sums-lists-nonexisting-file usr/lib/librsbcore.so       [3]
E: rsb0.7: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/librsbcore.so.0.7.0
E: rsb0.7: postinst-must-call-ldconfig usr/lib/librsbcore.so.0.7.0

Notes:
[1] We use SET(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/COPYING.txt"), therefore CPack should use the
specified file as package license file
[2] The exact permissions and therefore error message depend on the current
umask. CPack should set a fixed, compliant umask independently of what the user
happens to use.
[3] This is caused by symlinking usr/lib/librsbcore.so to
usr/lib/librsbcore.so.0.7.0 which happens when sonames and -versions are used in
CMake.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Our CMake and CPack files are a bit length to include here (viewable at
https://code.cor-lab.org/projects/rsb/repository/entry/trunk/cpp/core/CMakeLists.txt).

We called cpack (or make package) with fakeroot to achieve correct user- and
group-ids.

Packaging any CMake based library project should produce identical warnings.
