Description Chris Kerr 2022-07-23 17:28:38 UTC
Rather than depending on OpenCL implementations directly, the virtual/opencl lists implementations to install in a postinst message.

The pocl library allows running OpenCL code on the CPU and is helpful when hardware acceleration is not available. It should be included in the list of suggested implementations.
