In theory it's possible.
But according to Debian Policy 2.2.1 package must not require software
not present in Debian for execution.
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-main
Currently there is no OpenCL ICD for ppc64 in Debian - so I cannot
upload PyOpenCL for that architecture.

It would be much easier to just build PyOpenCL for all architectures,
but to be following Policy I need to manually maintain list of
architectures for which we have ICDs.

Best regards.
