Actual result (edited to remove blank lines):

oh my, what a mess!

1. libflac-dev contains development files for both FLAC and FLAC++.
   libflac++-dev becomes an empty transitional package depending on
   libflac-dev.

I think this is the way to go. It does not involve any upstream changes and keeps the fix for #1118470 intact by shipping all files required to build against either libFLAC or libFLAC++ in one place.

5. (maybe others, I don't know CMake very well)

Me neither. :/

Having libflac-dev pull in the flac package (command-line tools) to avoid this error doesn't seem ideal...

This is ugly, but not unusual. See for example:
