[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Using alternatives instead of a conflict for libopencl1?

Hi,

I've just introduced "Beignet", which is Intel's Open Source OpenCL
implementation for Ivy Bridge, into Debian. The library can be loaded
either as a full OpenCL implementation or as an ICD driver, so I'd
like to avoid two separate packages for both modes, which leaves the
problem that I need to introduce a Conflicts: if I use the
libOpenCL.so.1 name.

Would it make sense in your opinion to have libOpenCL.so.1 managed via
the alternatives subsystem instead?

I'd give the highest priority to the ICD loader, and give the vendor
specific implementations the same lower level.
