Hi Debian NVIDIA Maintainers

I am preparing to upload nvidia-cuda-toolkit to Ubuntu, but I need to 
make some minor changes in the packaging to be compatible with the 
latest Nvidia driver packages in Trusty.

My proposed changes are below.  Firstly, nvidia-current is deprecated 
but we can now use the virtual packages we planned last year.  A quick 
sanity check, should package_libcuda1's alternate dependency not be 
bumped to libcuda-5.5-1?

It seems we need another virtual package for package_nvidia-libopencl1's 
alternate dependency.  For an Ubuntu-only upload I would be happy with 
nvidia-libopencl1-331, but I would prefer something more general like 
libcuda-5.0-1, otherwise we end up with a long list of alternate 
dependencies as we had before, e.g. nvidia-libopencl1-331 | 
nvidia-libopencl1-345 | nvidia-libopencl1-356, etc.  Can this be 
something like nvidia-libopencl-1.1-1?

Regards
Graham
