[CMake] DEB package generated with cpack does not pass lintian check on Ubuntu

[Hendrik Sattler]

Hi,

you have to differ here:
lintian is for checking packaging policy of distribution packages for Debian and derivatives like Ubuntu.
Cpack does not necessarily create packages according to these policies but still valid packages. If dpkg eats it without errors, it's ok for out-of-distribution packages.
