Can be fixed in python-pycuda :-) But wait until a new toolkit version
is in NEW.

Thanks for that information. Unfortunately there is no
'apt-cache reverse-build-depends' command to check this easily ...

So libcuda1-dev can be removed without problems, for the other we need a
better solution.

OpenCL Headers are freely available from
http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/, so ... let's package them as a
replacement :-)
Please try the attached package:
B-D: opencl-headers, nvidia-libopencl1, ...
(after removing nvidia-libopencl1-dev you may have to create a
libOpenCL.so -> libOpenCL.so.1 (or whatever) symlink manually as a
temporary workaround)

If this works for you, I'll ITP and look for a sponsor.
Or would we need API 1.0 instead of 1.1 for some reason?

If you need some cuda headers, you'll probably need B-D:
nvidia-cuda-dev, libcuda1, ... nvidia-cuda-dev is from
nvidia-cuda-toolkit, but reorganization has just started, so things may
move :-)
