[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#1031414: clinfo breaks libgpuarray autopkgtest on i386: numerical deltas

@elbrus: Why does britney try to migrate clinfo together with pocl?
IMO clinfo should be able to migrate on its own without causing new 
regressions in testing. It does not have any (transitive) dependency on 
pocl.

or llvm-15

pocl/sid is built against llvm-15, pocl/testing against llvm-14

This also causes a test regression in pyopencl due to numerical 
differences (#1030298). This was attempted to be fixed in pyopencl 
upstream by requiring the numerical difference to be below some 
tolerance level instead of requiring equality, but the numerical delta 
is too large to hide behind that ...

I'm currently trying to debug the code generation delta between llvm-14 
and llvm-15 ...

There could still be a bug in libgpuarray if the failing test is too 
strict by requiring equality of some floating point computations. (Not 
checked.)
