You are right defining components is the easiest way to produce several
packages (deb, rpm, zip, etc...)
This is explained here:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack

This fact is explained as well:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack#Enabling_Component_Packaging

Beginning with CPack/CMake 2.8.8 you can get the list of CPACK_xxx control
variables:

cpack --help-variable-list

and
cpack --help-variable "CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL"

gives you the specific documentation:

  CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL
       Enable/Disable component install for CPack generator <GENNAME>.

         Each CPack Generator (RPM, DEB, ARCHIVE, NSIS, DMG, etc...) has a
legacy
         default behavior. e.g. RPM builds monolithic whereas NSIS builds
component.
         One can change the default behavior by setting this variable to
0/1 or OFF/ON.
