Leave it to the upstreams.

The current listing at that link mostly contains .cmake language files,
not CMake package configuration files for find_package().

Debian maintainers cannot simply relocate .cmake files even if they
are meant to be found by find_package.  Such files contain information
about the other files in their packages, often represented as a path
relative to the location of the .cmake file itself.

IMO this is a non-issue for Debian.
