This is a long standing issue with related bugs:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12997
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12574
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11050
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13015
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15042

which is shared (at least) by CPackRPM and CPackDeb


>
> The use of CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME here does not match the behavior of
> non-component-based packaging, where CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_NAME can be
> defined.
>
> With CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME set to "foo" and CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_NAME set to
> "libfoo", a component "libraries" that gathers the libraries in a project
> then defaults to, e.g., "foo-libraries", rather than "libfoo" (without a
> component part) in the control file.
>
> These conventions can also differ between, e.g., Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora.
> The former would expect libraries in "libfoo", headers in "libfoo-dev", and
> documentation in "libfoo-doc", the latter however rather "foo"/"foo-devel"
> or "libfoo"/"libfoo-devel".
>
> I've included two possible patches for this. The first one adds a fully
> configurable component package name via
> CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_NAME, the latter only allows to set the
> part name appended to CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_NAME (with "-<COMPONENT>" still
> the default behavior).
>
> It would be great if one of those solutions could be integrated, as this
> enables better matching of CPack and upstream conventions. A similar patch
> could also be added to CPackRPM.
