This variable XXX_DIR is set to the installation directory of XXX,
which contains in the subdirectory share/cmake/XXX the proper config

documentation states that XXX_DIR is used as a prefix and that (for
unix) a set of subdirectories are searched.  [ see the prefix section
and then subsection 2. of prefix generation].

The "<package>_DIR" variable listed under 2. is an environment (not cmake) variable:
    "Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment variables."

There is a "<package>_DIR" cache variable that cmake itself creates for config mode packages to hold the path of the config file (not prefix).
