Are you sure? I just tried (in jessie) and having nvidia-opencl-icd:i386
installed does not satisfy the Recommends in nvidia-libopencl1:amd64

I don't think we need this, Provides do not satisfy foreign arch
Depends/Recommends/Suggests (counterexamples welcome).
This might change if the Providing package is M-A: foreign.
Or maybe with Recommends: virtual-package:any (if this is even allowed,
I'll try this later for another reason).
