So, all it would take is to provide, conflict and replace libcuda5 and
libopencl1, right?

How did Debian handle it? Did they use libcuda-5.0-1 instead of libcuda5?

That would require changes in Mesa and in all the binary drivers. It
seems a bit excessive to me. Maybe let the package create its own
symlink (to i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf)  in /etc/ld.so.conf.d so as to work
around the problem?
