Yep you are right. When you barely want to package a (set of) directory
I think you should try to set:

CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES
which
should contain (list of) pairs of <directory> and <subdirectory>. The
<subdirectory> can be '.' to be installed in the toplevel directory of
installation.

there is almost no documentation about this but this is used for
"package_source" by cpack.itself.
see the any " CPackSourceConfig.cmake" generated for a CMakeified project
using CPack.
