Hello, I have installed cmake 3.28.1-1 and googletest 1.14.0-1 from
Debian testing, and I'm trying to use GTest with CMake as follows:

```
# CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(foo)

enable_testing()
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)

add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo GTest::gtest GTest::gtest_main)

add_test(AllTestsInFoo foo)
```


```
// foo.cc
TEST(Foo, foo) {
	EXPECT_EQ(1 + 2, 3);
}
```

This is very close to the example provided in /usr/share/cmake-3.28/Modules/FindGTest.cmake,
but it fails:

```
$ cmake .

Sorry for the noise, I found the problem:

For this to work, I need to install libgtest-dev.

Perhaps the googletest package could include a hint to that effect in
the description.
