This is because CPackRPM uses rpmbuild which usually have a builtin step
for auot-discovering basic dependencies. At least if you build it on the same
platform/distro you'll be installing it.

You can try to set CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS to ON.
Read the doc to see why it is not on by default:
cpack --help-variable CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS

> At a minimum, I think all I really need is the 32 bit libc.so.6.

You can always craft dependencies "by hand":
cpack --help-variable CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS
