Are you including the cmake CDBS class, i.e. putting:

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/cmake.mk

in debian/rules?

If you have I'd maybe look at the CMakeLists.txt files and see if
there is a hard path set. They should be relative or using a variable.

Do you have your packaging up somewhere? I can have a quick look to
see if I can find anything obvious.
