I don't think that's a good idea.
The Debug libraries are supposed to be non-redistributable. (At least 
that used to be true... is it still true?) To Debug a VS-built project, 
you have to run it on a machine with VS installed, so there's not a 
compelling need to "install" the debug libraries anyway.
The capability is in there if you *must* have an install tree with 
Debug libraries in it for some reason, but it's not supposed to be the 
norm, and I don't think we should make it easy to do.
If you're going to go against the license terms, you should have to do 
it explicitly in your own code... not as a side effect of a default 
behavior that CMake provides.
Just my opinion,
David C.
