Sorry but this does not seem to work "as-is".
However adding

add_test(TestPackage ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} package)

works: it adds a new test "TestPackage" which consist in running the
"build tool" in order to build the "package" target.

In my test case the add_test is added in the main CMakeLists.txt.
