That's probably a good idea for runtime Depends, but *not* Build-Depends 
and test-Depends: those are likely to be run on GPU-less servers, where 
only CPU ICDs (i.e. pocl-opencl-icd) will work.

(Roughly: pocl-opencl-icd = CPUs, mesa-opencl-icd = AMD/ATI GPUs, 
intel-opencl-icd = Intel GPUs; the GPU ICDs work on integrated GPUs, but 
server processors often don't even have those.  I think of 
pocl-opencl-icd as slow enough to be mostly for testing, but don't know 
how generally true that is.)
