The right one is:
set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX "/playnet/ra")

> SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_INSTALL_PREFIX "/playnet/ra")
This one does not exist (i.e. is not used anywhere).

> SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION

> SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME "servers")
> SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Cornered Rat Software")
> SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "Game servers")
> SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION "'Game servers and tools.")
> SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_MAINTAINER "Oliver Smith")

> SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/playnet/ra")
This one does not exist as well (i.e. is not used anywhere).

Remove all "INSTALL_PREFIX" you have used and set
set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX "/playnet/ra")

You can specify this on the command line too:

cpack -D CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX=/playnet/ra -G DEB

More extensive doc of CPack variables should be coming soon:
