The only opencl packages installed are related to nvidia:
nvidia-opencl-common, nvidia-opencl-icd, and nvidia-libopencl1.

According to synaptic, nvidia-opencl-icd depends on
nvidia-alternative, which in turn depends on glx-alternative-nvidia,
which in turn suggests nvidia-driver. But I do not know if this is
relevant.

Oddly enough, "aptitude why" seems to imply that the nvidia-opencl-*
packages were installed because of python-scitools:

#aptitude why nvidia-opencl-common
i   libhwloc-plugins  Depends    ocl-icd-libopencl1 | libopencl1
i A nvidia-libopencl1 Provides   libopencl1
i A nvidia-libopencl1 Recommends nvidia-opencl-icd | opencl-icd
i A nvidia-opencl-icd Depends    nvidia-opencl-common

#aptitude why libhwloc-plugins
i   libopenmpi1.6 Depends    libhwloc5 (>= 1.10.0)
i A libhwloc5     Recommends libhwloc-plugins

#aptitude why libopenmpi1.6
i   libvtk5.8 Depends libopenmpi1.6

#aptitude why libvtk5.8
i   python-scitools Recommends python-vtk
i A python-vtk      Depends    libvtk5.8


If it is effectively the case that the nvidia-opencl-* packages were
installed because of python-scitools, I suppose I should file a bug
for the package libhwloc-plugins, which seems to be the one that
pulled all the nvidia stuff.
