Unfortunately, I am not sure that there is an option to prevent catkin from
producing these files for itself, the way that we use that option is to
prevent other packages (i.e. not catkin) from creating these files. This
prevents a conflict when targeting them to the same prefix and packaging
them into debs separately. But in our use case we still want catkin to
provide these files as they are useful when we are targeting a prefix other
than `/usr` or `/usr/local`.
Maybe Dirk Thomas can give some insight on how to disable this for catkin
too.
Likely what we will need to do is modify this line:
https://github.com/ros/catkin/blob/groovy-devel/cmake/all.cmake#L181
To read:
if(CATKIN_BUILD_BINARY_PACKAGE)
And then specifically not pass that argument to catkin only when we are
releasing for a prefix other than `/usr`.
I have opened a ticket about this on the catkin issue tracker, we should
continue the discussion there:
https://github.com/ros/catkin/issues/395
Also, we try to keep the traffic on ros-users low, so we should continue
any discussion on the issue tracker or as a question/answer on
answers.ros.org.
