Because installing such files means having to keep them source
compatible over time. So if the person writing them is unsure about
their quality or simply wants the option to change it later on he'll not
install it.

Besides kdelibs is not a 'dumping ground' for useful cmake files,
there's cmake-extra-modules or cmake itself where such things should be
added.
