Glad to hear it!

We would like to have nvidia-graphics-drivers-* recommend nvidia-
modprobe, or provide some way of automatically loading the kernel
modules and creating the device nodes.  The nvidia-modprobe package is
currently in 'universe' and would need to be included in 'main' before a
package in 'restricted' can depend on or recommend it.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the bug where we are tracking
that.

Bug description:
  I just noticed that installing the OpenCL doesn't work. When trying to install any of these packages APT wants to remove all packages related to ocl-icd-libopencl1. Well, while looking at the nvidia packages I noticed that all nvidia-libopencl1-* packages want to replace and provide libopencl1, but this might be the old name of the generic library.
  Currently it is called ocl-icd-libopencl1, so correcting this should be very easy!
