Dear all,

Looks like there are already two ROCm related packages in experimental,
courtesy of the "ROCm Team":

https://packages.debian.org/experimental/rocm-smi
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/rocminfo

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=team%2Brocm-team%40tracker.debian.org

Do you think those ROCm packages will eventually trickle down to Bullseye
+ backports in order to replace mesa-opencl-icd and libclc-amdgcn ?

Best regards,

Samuel
