SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "1")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "0B1")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH "")

Those 3 are used to build the CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
thus you may overwrite the CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION alltogether with
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0B1").

The CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION is defined by CPack iff it is not already defined:

from CPack.cmake:
cpack_set_if_not_set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
"${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH}")
