for using the tier1/ libs the following should do:

find_package(ECM 0.0.6 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)

find_package(Qt5 ... )

find_package(kdeqt5staging  REQUIRED NO_MODULE CMake Compiler InstallDirs

find_package(KF5 REQUIRED MODULE CMake Compiler InstallDirs
                                 kcodecs karchive itemmodels ...)

and then use the resulting variables.
I will look into this tonight.
