I might spend some time reviewing and sponsoring ...
Would it be useful to place these packages under the umbrella of
Maintainer: Debian OpenCL Maintainers
<pkg-opencl-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
There is more in ROCm than just OpenCL, but I don't know a better
fitting team ...
Given that there are third-party Debian packages out in the wild, we
should ensure that upgrades from third-party packages to official Debian
packages (and maybe vice versa) work smoothly. Which means packaging
updates probably need to be propagated back to the third-party
packaging. (An *no* use of epochs to be newer than the third-party
packages!)
(I had used the third-party ROCm packages on a Debian system in the
past, and IIRC it worked surprisingly well after I figured out that we
already had a recent enough kernel to not need the out-of-tree kernel
module bits.)
