[CMake] find_package and lib/cmake/Foo

I've asked this before, but never resolved it...
if I stall package Foo into
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/path/prefix
and generate
/my/path/prefix/lib/cmake/Foo/FooConfig.cmake
etc
then with
Foo_DIR=/my/path/prefix
Foo_ROOT=/my/path/prefix
find_package(Foo)
does not find package Foo
One needs to set
Foo_DIR=/my/path/prefix/lib/cmake/Foo
or
Foo_ROOT=/my/path/prefix/lib/cmake/Foo
but it specifically states in the documentation http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/manual/cmake-packages.7.html "One place it looks is: <prefix>/lib/cmake/Foo*/ where Foo* is a case-insensitive globbing expression"
if I
set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE 1)
then I do not see it searching in my prefix with any extra /lib/cmake/ paths.
Is the documentation wrong, or have I missed something?
thanks
JB
