Hi,

Thanks for working on this.

We will need a test case in the test suite before merging it.  The
description might be needing a bit of rewording.  How about:

"""
Info: This package contains a file in a path reserved solely for
 <tt>CMake</tt>. This normally means you are shipping a <tt>Find</tt>
 module. Libraries should not ship Find modules at all but Config files
 instead.
 .
 The Config files should be installed in the unversioned path
 usr/(lib/&lt;arch&gt;|lib|share)/cmake/&lt;name&gt;*/
 .
 By using CMake Config files in the unversioned path, the package will
 continue to work as expected when a new version of CMake is uploaded.
"""

Admittedly, I presumed there was only one (valid) prefix and it was
always "usr".

More suggestions:

 * If you got any related documentation, please consider adding a Ref
   field listing it.

Thanks,
