FindDDCUtil.cmake is installed to the wrong location
Generally only Modules shipped by cmake should be installed into /usr/share/cmake/modules Modules shipped by 3rd partys should be installed into <libdir>/cmake/libraryname in the same way autotools .pc files should be installed into <libdir>/pkgconfig the correct example for openSUSE would be /usr/lib64/cmake/ddcutil/
Thank you for the clarification. I had puzzled over the proper location
for .pc files. Integrating all the conflicting information I found on
the web, I concluded that architecture agnostic .pc files were installed
in /usr/share/pkgconfig, while architecture specific files belonged
under
I'm wrapping up the next releases of ddcutil (0.9.9) and ddcui (0.1.1) . I expect they'll be out in a couple weeks. I'll address the location of the .cmake (and .pc) files as part of the release process.

. Are there definitive specifications for the proper location for .pc and .cmake files, or is this just generally known?
for .pc files I think the info you already have is right, for cmake I also spent a while searching to see if its documented anywhere, it certainly isn't for openSUSE, cmake's tutorial[1] uses <prefix>/lib/foo*/ but also says "If your project does not already have a /lib/Foo*/ directory you may prefer to put the package file in /lib/cmake/Foo*/".
Beyond that I found a mail thread that said not to use /usr/share/cmake [2]. On openSUSE almost everything is using /usr/lib64/cmake/Foo' (with no version numbers), although there are a couple using /usr/lib64/Foo` only boost and openjpeg are putting in version numbers as it may make sense to have multiple versions of them at some point I might clean up some of the other packages.
