It might be even better to just skip byte-compilation and use the
uncompiled file, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cmake-mode.el. That's in
line with the emacsen policy:

Some other packages, e.g. mercurial and tcsh, do that. And since
cmake-mode.el is very small, the performance penalty of loading it
uncompiled is totally negligible. Plus, you avoid the need of
maintaining the cmake.emacsen-{install,remove} scripts. You should keep
cmake.emacsen-startup for setting up the autoloads, though.
