I'm trying to create an ament package for some protobuf files. Currently I have the cmake in my protobuf related package invoking protoc to generate the C++ and header files. However I feel like I'm missing something wrt exporting these autogenerated files with ament, as when I attempt to use the library elsewhere in another package, cmake fails to find the header files that I can verify are installed in the install/my_protobuf/include/proto directory. I've provided a minimal example here:

https://github.com/ruffsl/ros2_docker...

For brevity, I'll post the two major cmake files here,
but you can build the accompanying dockerfile in the PR to reproduce the issue.
