The required changes are too risky for stable releases, and fall out of scope from both Stable Release Updates [1] and Backports [2] process. I am against from making such updates available in the Ubuntu Archive. It will be a support nightmare.

Installing nvidia-current on e.g. intel machine renders many things unusable (e.g. unable to login into desktop session). In the past, the solution was for pyopencl to not depend on ocl-icd / nvidia-current, and simply let it fail. I'm not sure what's the best way to solve this.
