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

[Graham Inggs]

Hi Alberto

I have tested the attached patch and it "works for me".

After building the driver with this patch locally and installing it, I was
able to install ocl-icd-libopencl1 and python-pyopencl and run the examples
from the pyopencl source package.  I was also able to build the pyopencl
source package locally without any changes.

Regards
Graham
