I’m trying to use `FetchContent_Declare()` with CMake 3.28.0 as following:

```auto
FetchContent_Declare(
  repo-backend
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend.git
  GIT_TAG main
  GIT_SHALLOW ON)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(repo-backend)

```

But getting error during the generation step against this block [https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt#L211-L216:](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/backend/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt#L211-L216:)

```auto
CMake Error at /tmp/tritonbuild/tensorrtllm/build/_deps/repo-backend-src/CMakeLists.txt:212 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "triton-backend-utils" links to:

    CUDA::cupti

  but the target was not found. Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

```

I had tried to set following options but without luck including use `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` as given in documentation

```auto
+cmake_policy(SET CMP0154 OLD)
+cmake_policy(SET CMP0146 OLD)
+enable_language(CUDA)
+find_package(CUDAToolkit)
+
+set(FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE ALWAYS)

```

Can you advise what need to be considered in order to keep up with latest CMake version?
