Sure, but isn't 3.10 the version going into next stable, or will 3.16 migrate
before release?

If it isn't, then for the next couple of years, QGIS users on Debian stable with
working OpenCL setups will try to click that button and be confused. If it's too
late to patch the error message, installing `ocl-icd-opencl-dev` as a workaround
should at least be mentioned in the README.
