Hello.
First - thanks for work on drivers.
I have installed 256.53 and do not have any problems

libcuda1-dev is used (Build-Depends) by python-pycuda
(not yet in Debian, waiting for nvidia-cuda-toolkit).

nvidia-libopencl1-dev is used (Build-Depends) by python-pyopencl,
which is in testing. I am not sure what will happen when you will
try to remove package from testing on which other package depends.

Should I just Build-Depend on libcuda1, nvidia-libopencl1, just like
nvidia-cuda-toolkit 3.1-2?

I will test python-pycuda and python-pyopencl with new driver packages
as soon as they are released.
Should I then try to put new version of python-pyopencl into testing?
