I support the ocl module in opencv is difficult in Debian.
Because OCL SDK is in non-free section.
When opencv is dependent on the OCL SDK if, opencv is in contrib section.
Because I want to distribute opencv in the main section, I will not
support ocl module.

Does this work for you?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
