Oh well, find_package() is just a helper for the package option. The
multi-root option
is to make it easier to add extra packages (like a third party package
incuded in the distro)

Now for the package_dir, option, I wouldn't mind removing it. I have
always hated it too.

If we just kill it, people will just have to provide packages relative
to the root,

I am +1 to remove package_dir
