The PCL sources in https://github.com/wg-debs/pcl do not contain a ROS package. That is why roscd cannot find them and rosmake cannot make them.

Those sources were apparently used to create the ros-fuerte-pcl Debian package for the supported Ubuntu versions (Lucid, Oneiric, and Precise). To build them on another system, you will probably need to look inside the Debian rules to see how to build it. Probably, it looks similar to a normal stand-alone PCL build, but with the USE_ROS parameter set.

guess at build commands

Probably, it looks similar to a normal stand-alone PCL build, build, but with the USE_ROS parameter set.set. The following is my best guess:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DUSE_ROS=1
$ make 
$ sudo make install

Please let us know what actually works for you.
