Thanks. PyOpenCL compiles with new headers (giving some warnings
about functions deprecated in 1.2) but it does not run.
It looks like OpenCL programs (at least PyOpenCL) expect to have
OpenCL 1.2 libraries when they see 1.2 headers. I have tried to
install fglrx 8-93-10, but they only seem to hang my machine.

So do not upload new headers into unstable until there is
OpenCL 1.2 provider. But thanks for preparing package, and
please leave it in experimental - I will try to play with
it a little more.

Best regards.
