[CMake] Setting CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME per COMPONENT

[Iosif Neitzke]

Unfortunately it would take more than one run of CPack, but you may
find useful something like:

in CMakeLists.txt:
set( CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeCPackOptions.cmake" )

in CMakeCPackOptions.cmake:

set( CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}" )

which would let you run for each component:
cpack -G DEB -D CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL="ComponentX" -P PackageNameForComponentX

to produce a PackageNameForComponentX.deb for each run of cpack
