I believe you are correct that this is against policy, the build-depends should be on something similar to: ocl-icd-opencl-dev | opencl-dev The real package should be listed before the alternate virtual package. The alternate virtual package is there for users who wish to build packages locally and want to use an alternate package providing opencl- dev, not ocl-icd-opencl-dev. I don't think this is something that Ubuntu should (or can) nip in the bud. I think bugs should be filed in the Debian BTS against the relevant packages (viennacl, etc.) and discussed in the OpenCL Packager's mailing list [1].
