If you are speaking about CPackRPM generator then NO it shouldn't use HOME dir.
If it is the case then may be you have a some custom .rpmrc somewhere?

If not could you gives us more informations:
  - Which version of CMake
  - Which Linux system (Mandriva, RedHat, OpenSuSE, Fedora...) with version

Like I said that should already be the case.
Could you try to run the following command in your build directory:

cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM

and send me the output.
