Thanks for reporting this. Admittedly I've made a mistake by not checking 
section of python-pyopencl before adding it to Recommends.

But python-pyopencl shouldn't be in contrib in first place. OpenCL is no 
longer in the exclusive area of proprietary drivers. Right now "opencl-icd" 
also provided by free "beignet" (along with proprietary providers).
Mesa OpenCL support is almost ready to be added to Debian, see #717500.

Given the above I think "python-pyopencl" should be moved from "contrib" to 
"main" and there is an existing ticket for that -- #723132.
