Bug Description

cmake files are provided by upstream and are in the source tarball but not copied to the target system.

I think that would be swell if it could be added. :)

Is this package simply synced from debian? Should I make this request elsewhere?

It seems that proj hase two build systems; autotools and cmake. The documentation, https://proj.org/install.html#debian , recommends using autotools on unix and cmake on other platforms.

The cmake helper files need to be built by cmake, so when using autotools these are not built or installed.

I'm not sure why they suggest using autotools for debian; building from source with cmake seems to work alright and would be helpful for others using cmake in their projects.
