Looks like this is caused by
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739409
which is supposed to be fixed in ocl-icd-libopencl1 2.1.3-5
while erlang-cl 1.2.1-2 was build with 2.1.3-4.

Debian Social Contract says
"We will never make the system require the use of a non-free component."
And I asked apt to install a package from Debian, not non-free.

erlang-cl still needs to be rebuilt (probably with bin-nmu in stable)
in order for this bug to be fixed.
