[Bug 1129409] Re: nvidia-graphics-drivers should indicate which versions of libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1 they include

pyopencl - sync request in LP: #1201078
pycuda - waiting on nvidia-cuda-toolkit
starpu-contrib - waiting on nvidia-cuda-toolkit and libGL shlibs

** Description changed:

  The nvidia-cuda-toolkit package needs to depend on a minimum version of the CUDA library included in nvidia-graphics-drivers.
  The current Debian version of nvidia-cuda-toolkit (5.0.35-4) does this on Debian systems by checking the version of libcuda1 and on Ubuntu systems by checking the version of nvidia-current, nvidia-curent-updates, nvidia-experimental-304 or nvidia-experimental-310.
  
  It would greatly simplify maintenance of packages building against
  libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1 if the nvidia-graphics drivers could
  provide virtual packages that reflect the API level, for example,
  libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl-1.2-1.
  
- Packages could then build-depend on these virtual packages and use
- shlibs.local to override the dependencies on libcuda.so.1 and
- libOpenCL.so.1 with libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl-1.2-1 respectively,
- allowing packages to be installed with any compatible version of the
- nvidia-graphics-drivers, not only the version they were built against.
+ It was decided that the nvidia drivers packages will provide libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl1 virtual packages.
+ Additionally, nvidia-*.shlibs would contain:
+ libOpenCL  1 libopencl1
+ libcuda    1 libcuda-5.0-1
+ libGL 1 libgl1
