cmake plugin should set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
Metadata
Current evaluation
Requests CMake defaults for RelWithDebInfo and /; the current craft-parts plugin sets neither automatically and documents explicit configuration, but the issue remains untriaged.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The report specifies exact proposed defaults, but Launchpad shows no labels, comments, or maintainer response. The current craft-parts plugin explicitly documents that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not automatic and shows CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE being supplied manually, making this a compatibility-sensitive policy change rather than a ready bug fix.

Issue body
The CMake plugin should probably set some good defaults when configuring.
Some that come to mind:
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/
There's some others set by debhelper that might be a good reference:
