Bug Description
At least on Focal (20.04) on an x86_64 system with libproj-dev 6.3.1-1 installed, no cmake support files are installed. I would expect the following file to be installed:
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
As these files are not installed, builds of applications that depend on libproj and use cmake to fail.
As cmake is installable from the mainstream Ubuntu repositories, I'd expect that cmake should be supported, hence this kind of development libraries should be installed with these files.

The official proj way of supporting third-parties development is via pkg-config which does not depend on cmake or autotools. Proj upstream does not distribute any cmake snippet, cmake is only used internally as an alternative building system, mainly for Windows. Why are you supposing that it should provide cmake specific stuff? Even in that case, it could be a suggestion for upstream, eventually.
