meh.
don't give up so easily :)

The fact that the package is using cmake is quite irrelevant, really :)
The difference is on how dh_auto_install(1) works when you are building
one or mulitple binaries: when you build only one binaries the "make
install" installs everything in the debian/scram directory, and the
proceed to create a .deb out of that tree; when you are building
multiple binaries that "make install" (as invoked by dh_auto_install)
puts all the files in the debian/tmp directory instead, leaving you the
job of specifing which files need to go to which directory, usually by
means of various debian/*.install (see dh_install(1)) files.
I believe that was what you were confused about, given that you didn't
really explain much about what your problems were.
