Bug#695883: nvidia-libopencl1: improper opencl-icd dependency

Package: nvidia-libopencl1
Version: 304.48-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

it looks like the following recommends line is wrong:
"Recommends: opencl-icd | nvidia-opencl-icd";

("opencl-icd" is a purely virtual package provided by
"amd-opencl-icd" and "nvidia-opencl-icd");

this line perhaps should be changed to
"Recommends: nvidia-opencl-icd | opencl-icd"
(or even to simply "Recommends: nvidia-opencl-icd"),

because at the current state, it mistakenly pulls the 1st package
by alphabetical order (i. e., AMD package instead of Nvidia one):

# apt-get install nvidia-libopencl1
