Public bug reported: Problem: The runtime OpenCL package ocl-icd-libopencl1 does not create a libOpenCL.so symlink. Consequently, when I deploy my OpenCL application on a client system, the application cannot find the OpenCL library. Strangely enough, the *development* OpenCL package ocl-icd-opencl-dev does create a libOpenCL.so symlink. So, I have to ask clients (who do not develop OpenCL) to install package ocl-icd-opencl-dev.
Proposed solution: The runtime OpenCL package ocl-icd-libopencl1 should create a libOpenCL.so symlink.
