The package python-pyopencl depends on nvidia-current, which makes it
impossible to correctly use on AMD / ATI systems.

In debbugs #628702 debian started using a virtual package opencl-icd
instead of depending directly on particular graphics driver / opencl
implementation.

We should follow the same.

TODO

* syn pyopencl
* nvidia-graphics-drivers or nvidia-common (not sure) to provide opencl-icd
* fglrx-installer to provide opencl-icd


** Summary changed:

- pyopencl falsely depends on nvidia-current
+ pyopencl - please sync & use opencl-icd virtual package

** Description changed:

- The package python-pyopencl depends on nvidia-current, which makes it 
impossible to correctly use on AMD / ATI systems. 
- Please remove this unnecessary dependency.
