I guess the '/usr/local/include' should be from CPACK_SET_DESTDIR left over
to ON. You should now leave CPACK_SET_DESTDIR alone
(which leave the default OFF value).

The left over may came from a dirty build dir containing cached value,
the easiest way to get rid of it is to delete your build dir or at least
remove the CPackConfig.cmake        CPackSourceConfig.cmake
files in it.

Documentation improvement is a collaborative effort which sometimes
lag far behind our hopes  :-]

Did you try
cpack --help-variable CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY

Your was nearly there,
try
set(CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY 0)

Trying...
