I have tested it last week and it worked pretty well. There was no
specific configuration,
except that CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS contained several projects.
SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "TBZ2;DEB")
SET(CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS
 "/home/carel/iniparser-0.5b/_build/Linux-Release_stlport;iniparser;ALL;/"
 "/home/carel/iniparser-0.5b/_build/Linux-Debug;iniparser;ALL;/"
 "/home/carel/iniparser-0.5b/_build/Linux-Debug_stlport;iniparser;ALL;/"
 "/home/carel/iniparser-0.5b/_build/Linux-Release;iniparser;ALL;/"

I have just tested the dpkg -i


I will make more serious test with `advanced' options:
DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS, stuff like that...

BTW, I have checked the module on cvs and found this tiny typo:

Thx a lot for this generator.
