Seems like this is not solved. #2411 was closed and not merged.
Even with #3376 it actually requires meson.build to do the correct thing (which it often does not or the build script is a mix of correct and wrong).

You probably want to have a look at CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<PackageName> from CMake to actually learn from it.
On a different but related issue: I also saw people suggesting/looking for something like <PackageName>_DIR from CMake
