There will be an issue with pycuda, which needs libcurand6.5 and that is 
no longer shipped for i386.  I simply disabled the i386 build in Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pycuda/2015.1.2-1ubuntu1

We might need to adjust the hack to allow gcc 4.9 since ggc 5 is now 
default (bug #757961).

# do not prevent the use of GCC 4.9
sed -i 's/__GNUC_MINOR__ > 8/__GNUC_MINOR__ > 9/' 
debian/tmp/usr/include/host_config.h

I'll check that the whole stack can rebuild in Ubuntu Wily and report back.

Regards
Graham
