Severity: minor

python-pyopencl Depends: libopencl1 and opencl-icd. These are virtual
packages, so apt will pick a more or less random implementation of the
virtual package to satisfy the dependency; in my case, using aptitude
with contrib and non-free enabled, aptitude chose the nVidia implementations.

As far as I can tell, users of OpenCL need an opencl-icd implementation
that matches their hardware, and a libopencl1 implementation that is
capable of loading that opencl-icd implementation.

The package descriptions suggest that ocl-icd-libopencl1 is able to
load any of the three ICDs (Intel, nVidia, AMD) and it also
seems to be the only one in main, so it's an obvious choice for the
libopencl1 implementation: "Depends: ocl-icd-libopencl1 | libopencl1".

As for the ICD, perhaps it should be "Depends: beignet | opencl-icd"?
That won't work on non-Intel hardware, but at least it's satisfiable
in main, and seems slightly more likely to work than apt choosing one
at random.
