While Khronos is thinking about this problem, I think Debian
should immediately patch the khronos-opencl-headers header.

  Pro: fix FTBFS of old software not using EGL
  Const: would prevent EGL application *not already including <EGL/egl.h>*
    but relying on the (new) CL/cl_egl.h to get it to compile.

  I really think the Const is negligible where as the Pro already
occurs in the archive (this bug for beignet software)
