Yep, I have no plans currently to port PyCUDA to cffi. If someone
decided to do that, I'd be supportive, but for now only PyOpenCL will
support PyPy.

To be safe, I think pyopencl-bpl and pyopencl-cffi should be two
different packages, perhaps with a virtual package for dependencies to
use. pyopencl-cffi works on both CPython and PyPy, so it'd be nice if
the package exposed that. The two packages should conflict with each
other because they both supply a module called "pyopencl".

Great. PyPy's numpy isn't packaged yet, and PyPy 2.3 (which fixes a lot
of bugs, thus making all of this possible) is only a recent addition to
the Debian archive.
