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

[Graham Inggs]

** Also affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- nvidia-graphics-drivers should indicate which versions of libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1 they include
+ Nvidia and AMD graphics drivers should indicate whether they provide libcuda.so.1, libOpenCL.so.1, etc.

** 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.
  
- It was decided that the nvidia drivers packages will provide libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl1 virtual packages.
- Additionally, nvidia-*.shlibs would contain:
+ It was decided that the nvidia drivers packages will provide libcuda-5.0-1, libopencl1 and opencl-icd (LP: #763457) virtual packages. Additionally, nvidia-*.shlibs would contain:
