I think opencl-X.Y is too vague (could be the icd loader, could be a
working icd, ...)
Since it should look like a real library package name (but one we will
never actually use for anything but a virtual package) I wanted the real
soversion at the end (and opposed any suggestions from the Ubuntu
maintainers that were extremely misleading like libcuda5.0 and
libopencl1.1 virtual packages).
And libfoobar-1.2.3-4 is a quite common library package naming scheme,
although it usually indicates presence of libfoobar-1.2.3.so.4
Should we provide similar libopencl-X.Y-dev virtual packages as well?
What about
libOpenCL.so.1 #PACKAGE# #MINVER#
| ocl-icd-libopencl1 | libopencl1, libopencl-X.Y-1
...
to ensure we pull in the free library by default even if non-free is
enabled? (only for ocl-icd-libopencl1, vendor-libopencl1 could do
differently)
