Most variables are debian package specific/allow to override general CPack
variables specifically for debian packages. For e.g. package description is
set to:
  if CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION # debian specific override
  else if CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY # general package description

There is no particular reason why per component version can't be overridden
by a debian packager specific variable - you would usually want to have a
single description for the same component no matter the package format
(deb, rpm, ...).

Per component variable for these variables was not introduced since

As described in the link that you've provided create a gitlab account here:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake
and create a merge request (gitlab equivalent to pull request on github).

You can set CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL variable to contain only the components
that you wish to package:

set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL applications libraries headers)

By default it's set by CPack to contain all components.
