Unfortunately I think that all "built-in" targets suffers from this issue:
it may be worth adding a comment there:
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=8438

It may be worth a special comment on this one
because package/package are even trickier target
than all/install etc... because package/package source are not always
present :-)

They are generated by the generic generator if CPack[Source]Config.cmake
is found in the build tree,
see: CMake/Source/cmGlobalGenerator.cxx.
