more virtual packages for providing libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1

[Graham Inggs]

Thanks for clarifying, Andreas.

Alberto, can you add nvidia-304.shlibs to the Ubuntu packaging then, please?
Also, since you no longer allow different versions of Nvidia drivers to be
co-installed, do libcuda.* and libOpenCL.* need to be installed in
/usr/lib/nvidia-304?
If they were installed in /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) we wouldn't have
to do things like we did in pycuda [1] in order to locate them.
