Thanks Stefano.  I had a closer look at ocl-icd and I think I am seeing 
the real issue now.
Package ocl-icd-libopencl1 has both conflicts and replaces on 
nvidia-libopencl1-dev, but this package no longer exists.
 From what I can glean from the changelogs (excerpts follow), the 
unversioned libOpenCL.so symlink was removed from package 
nvidia-libopencl1-dev, built by nvidia-graphics-drivers, and is now 
shipped in package nvidia-opencl-dev, built by nvidia-cuda-toolkit.

I attach a new patch for ocl-icd which seems to do the right thing now.
