Yes Bill is right, I did check that but may be not thoroughly enough.
CPack/CMake etc... is installed at several place on my dev system
next time I'll check that no install cpack command may be used
during CMake fresh build.

May be.
The problem I see here "generic" CMake is bootstrapped
CPack is not, if it was we
could assume that CPack *is* available when CMake is.

Sorry for the delayed answer.
This is a good decision as usual.

I have not enough spare time right now and probably not much before July 20th...
I'm organizing a conference and this eats most of my time.
