I'd be happy if somebody would start using cpack for KDE stuff, I think 
currently nobody does. One of the reasons is that it is still quite new (... 
and not used that much yet so there are probably a few missing features).
For the style:
I'd suggest not to put any cpack-related code directly in the CMakeList.txt, 
but just include cpack config files, e.g. in kdelibs: 

include(KDELibsCPack.cmake)

This keeps the actual CMakeLists.txt clean.
