Probably that pyopencl's tests actually run OpenCL code and mesa's (at 
least the ones that get run on a buildd) don't.

pyopencl is a package that uses OpenCL, so it makes sense to run its 
tests via whatever OpenCL driver works on that hardware, which on the 
buildds means pocl-opencl-icd.

mesa-opencl-icd is an OpenCL driver that requires a GPU, so if it has 
tests that run OpenCL code, it probably doesn't run them on the buildd. 
  (It might run them on a maintainer's local machine where the right GPU 
is available, like beignet-opencl-icd does.)
