Ok, I can confirm this is the problem. However, I'm still considering
this as a CPack bug, since files are correctly installed with cmake,
but not packaged ..

As I have seen, there seems to be a solution:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2007-January/012538.html

However, I don't know if it has been merged in cmake.

Now, I'm wondering on what's better: should I rewrite my installation
paths so they are all relative, or will a fix be integrated ?

That may be a part of the problem, I'm using the version from debian
unstable, that is cmake version 2.4-patch 5, while the latest is 2.4.6
on the website.

Thanks for your help.
