cmake: compat 11 vs 13 (-indep)
[cc me please]
Symptoms:
I've recently discovered the following change in behavior for
dh_missing + cmake + -indep. Basically using compat 13 it is now an
error when build-indep rule install stuff other than just the -indep
files (1).
This means that the following d/rules is going to fails when using compat=13:

As you can see, during debuild -A I only build one target (not 'all'):
https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/openvdb/-/blob/master/debian/rules#L94
In compat 13 I was able to take advantage of `make -C`:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-phototools-team/imath/-/blob/master/debian/rules#L35-37
This 'trick' will fail if someone switch from --buildsystem=cmake into
--buildsystem=cmake+ninja.

Root issue. As far as I understand cmake install() command (2)
documentation, there is a single 'install' for the entire project. In
other words, it is not possible using regular cmake logic to do:
$ cmake . && make doc && make install_doc_related_stuff_only
Could someone with better understanding of dh_missing + cmake please
review the above and suggest a potential better solution than my
correct "hack" of using `-C docs`. I could also remove stuff installed
in debian/tmp just before `dh_missing` is run, but this is also a
hack.
Thanks much in advance,
