This works now.  I decided to commit
   libclblast-dev (>= 1.5.2-2~)
assuming you will upload this version sooner or later.  Now I / someone
who intends to keep on maintaining this package (ping Ghislain are you
actively maintaing this package any more?) needs to deal with the Debian
packaged gtest - I'm afraid I'm currently busy with other things since
I think it is OK to remove clblas from Debian since arrayfire probably
can go without it.  This was the main purpose why I checked this package.

You are welcome.  I'd recommend reading the chapter about importing
upstream sources of Debian Science policy[1].

Thanks a lot for your very helpful hints
