Yes, I see the problem.

To fix this for AMD, we would first need to get fglrx-installer fixed in Saucy, then back port that for Precise.
For Intel I think we would need to backport the beignet package, and it would be good if ocl-icd could be backported as well.

Ask someone in #ubuntu-bugs on IRC if they can create the Precise tasks
for these packages.

Bug description:
  The package python-pyopencl depends on nvidia-current, which makes it
  impossible to correctly use on AMD / ATI systems.

  In debbugs #628702 debian started using a virtual package opencl-icd
  instead of depending directly on particular graphics driver / opencl
  implementation.

  We should follow the same.

  TODO

  * syn pyopencl
  * nvidia-graphics-drivers or nvidia-common (not sure) to provide opencl-icd
  * fglrx-installer to provide opencl-icd
