Ah, this seems a bug :(

In CMake 2.4.7 there are no such lines.

The other reason may be that I don't use CPack.cmake. I run cpack 
with --config option, and build directory specified there. That is I don't 
put include(cpack) line into my cmakelists.

I don't know whether cpack reads CMakeCache.txt when it is ran in this mode. 
(I suppose it doesn't).
