I have a project that installs a CMake script which will be executed
by users using cmake -P <fullpath_for_cmake_scriptname>.

Where is a reasonable place to install <cmake_scriptname>?  Currently I
am thinking of

<prefix>/share/<project_name>/<cmake_scriptname>

but I am a bit concerned that location might be a bad choice because
it is completely unpopulated under Debian (at least for CMake
scriptnames that end in *.cmake), i.e.,

irwin at raven> ls /usr/share/*/*.cmake
ls: cannot access /usr/share/*/*.cmake: No such file or directory
