Hi
I am using CMake to build small libraries and create debian packages. I have used the CPACK\_DEBIAN\_PACKAGE\_DESCRIPTION directive to give the package a description but the description added to the package is prefixed with ` built using CMake`. Is there a way to lose the “built using CMake” bit?

I don’t see where this is happening in CMake’s code at all. I don’t know exactly where `--trace-expand` would go, but maybe `cpack -G Deb --trace-expand` would work to try and see where that string comes from?

This is very odd! I just rebuilt all my libs and they are note exhibiting this behaviour. I was working on a different device which has since been re-imaged. I wonder if it was an older version of CMake or other libs. This (working) version is 3.13.4. (I wish I had recorded the previous version - I usually do when reporting issues. I guess I started here to sound out whether this was a user error.)
Thanks for the advice @ben.boeckel. That is a useful debug tip.
