Could you try, cmake 2.8.7
(may be this fix
 http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10325 could solve your problem)
and/or
run cpack in fakeroot like:

$ cd /home/ralf/Animation-Dev/qStopMotion/qstopmotion-buil-makefile
$ fakeroot cpack -G DEB

Then retry the installation.

is the "qstopmotion" this project:
http://www.qstopmotion.org/english/download_sources.html

If yes did you made some change or could I theoretically try to
reproduce the issue
using the source I can find on this site?

could you put the result of:

dpkg-deb --contents <yourdebfile>.deb

in a text file and send it to me?
