Ah, so it sounds like we need a breaks/replaces on libopencl1.

And we need to provide opencl-icd as well then, as the Ubuntu nvidia driver
package contains libOpenCL.so.1.0.0 and libnvidia-opencl.so.1.

We do have a beignet package in Saucy.  I see some of the older Ubuntu
pyopencl merges replaced the dependency on 'opencl-icd' with 'fglrx |
nvidia-current' so I assume that the AMD (fglrx) driver does contain an
OpenCL implementation as well.
