[CMake] Warning when find_package does not find package

Hi CMake developers,
I further investigated my problem that I get a warning message
from find_package which could not find the config file of an
optional package, even when called with NO_MODULE.

In cmFindPackageCommand.cxx, lines 811 - 822 the error 
messages
are printed out as AUTHOR_WARNINGs or WARNINGs. I'd expect to
find these verbose message in the CMakeError.log and that the
output simply contains a single line "-- Could NOT find <A>" -
at least if NO_MODULE is set.

Is there a reason to stick to the current behavior? Is it 
worth
to open a bug and/or provide a patch?

Best,
Christoph
