May be you should try:
find /usr/share/ -name "*.cmake"

(or use globstar bash option:
 http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/globstar-new-bash-globbing-option
 $ shopt -s globstar
 $ ls /usr/share/**/*.cmake
)

on my debian (Jessie) I get at least:
/usr/share/llvm-3.4/cmake/*.cmake
/usr/share/cmake/SharedDesktopOntologies/*.cmake
/usr/share/cmake-2.8/...
/usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/*.cmake

I usually install my CMake scripts in:
<prefix>/share/<project_name>/<cmake_scriptname>
or
<prefix>/share/<project_name>/scripts/<cmake_scriptname>
