CMake has difficulties to keep up compatibility with the CMake files
provided by Protobuf, therefore it is considered to deprecate
FindProtobuf in CMake [1] in favor of CMake files provided by Protobuf.

One way to add the CMake files could be to switch from Autotools to
CMake or Bazel. These tools are recommended to build Protobuf from
source [2]. The instructions to build Protobuf with Autotools have been
removed [3].

I'm also hitting a wall here as the cmake files are not present.

 Thanks for the previous work on this.
 Yup, that's true and the new Protobuf package, currently in
'experimental' is now built with CMake. Please check if it meets your
requirements.
It will take a while to make it to Sid, but please report back if you
find any issues.
