This is odd, by the way which version of CMake are you using?
On my ubuntu 10.04 box with CMake 2.8.3, I get:
A) cpack -G TGZ
leads to a tar+gz archive whose content its owned by the user.
(as printed out using 'tar ztvf file.tgz')
B) fakeroot cpack -G TGZ
leads to a tar+gz archive whose content its owned by root.
(as printed out using 'tar ztvf file.tgz')
An alternative solution would be to force ownership on extraction,
GNU tar has the option:
--no-same-owner
extract files as yourself
which should do the job (I suppose you can be root when extracting).
Do you have any self contained example which exhibits the problem?
