Dear Maintainer,

The CMake config provided by this package seems incompatible with the upstream
one.
Currently, the package provides data under the name "Hiredis" with a capital
leading H, while upstream is named "hiredis" lowercase
".../cmake/Hiredis/HiredisConfig{,Version}.cmake" vs.
".../cmake/hiredis/hiredis-config.cmake" (see
https://github.com/redis/hiredis/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L137-L150)

This means that a client CMake project can't switch transparently between an
Debian install and a custom cmake build of hiredis.

Could you rename the cmake configuration provided by Debian to match upstream,
or even build hiredis using the official CMake support?

Thanks.

Yes, perhaps these changes are simply not needed anymore. However, I
don't quite understand the changes made in 07_cmake.patch completely
to make a determination on my own. I think I might know how to fix
this (eg. change the definition of CMAKE_PATH and then update
libhiredis-dev.install to match?), but, again, I'm just not familiar
enough.

No objection to solving this issue in a general sense, though. :)
