But you could make a "build-products-done" custom target, and then use
add_dependencies with that and all the other "real" CMake targets that you
have to make it go last after all the real stuff is built.

Then you can add another custom target to do as much 'make package' type
stuff as you want and make it depend on the "build-products-done" custom
target...

Because to do what you want, you want multiple make package steps anyhow,
right?
