The design and purpose of CPack is to install **every** bits specified
by CMake 'install(...)' command found in your CMakeLists.txt.

Some vars like CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS or CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES
makes it possible to install extra files/directories.

Now if you want to filter out some parts appearing in 'install(...)'
you'd better use COMPONENT with your install commands and select the
COMPONENT to be installed by CPack using CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
see
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cpack.html#variable:CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
or
cpack --help-variable CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
