That was only two of them ...

Does the Intel ICD work with our ocl-icd-libopencl1 ?
If not, why?
It should probably have
  Depends: ocl-icd-libopencl1 (>= 2.2.0) | libopencl-2.0-1
(the nvidia-libopencl1 only supports 1.x)


And if the only problem is a stupid upstream installer, maybe it's
better to write an installer package for Debian that asks where the
downloaded blob can be found (via debconf) and extracts and installs
only the parts that are useful on Debian.
