Research direction

Start by locating the new build system's CPack configuration and identify which CPack variables are currently fixed rather than exposed as cache variables. Compare the handling of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY with the other CPack settings, then define a clear set of configurable variables and verify that packaging configuration uses them.

[Migrated from original issue] ROCm/hipBLAS-common#20

Original issue author: @ellosel

Some of the CPack variables in the new build system should probably be configurable cache variables such as CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY .
