I did not use install statement, the binary files in bin directory were
copied directly to the Build directory at
Robotic/Robotic-prefix/src/robotic/bin, at that point all files permission
were correct.

I think it could be a cpack bug and I'll file a bug report. I'll try the
CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST for the time being.

I have tried bout could not figure out how to avoid to use root to build
packages where installation directory in system /usr/local/. I tried to
build and package software in fakeroot /tmp/fakeroot/application, and to
install the rpm int /usr/local/application. Then software generated
libraries and the fakeroot was added to appconfig.pc. If I misintepreted how
to use the fakeroot, could you please give me some examples of how to use
fakeroot correctly. 

Thank you Eric.

Kind regards.
