In theory it's possible.
But according to Debian Policy 2.2.1 package must not require software
not present in Debian for execution.
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-main
Currently there is no OpenCL ICD for ppc64 in Debian - so I cannot
upload PyOpenCL for that architecture.
It would be much easier to just build PyOpenCL for all architectures,
but to be following Policy I need to manually maintain list of
architectures for which we have ICDs.
Best regards.

New architectures for PyOpenCL in Debian
by Tomasz Rybak
Hello.
Few quick updates regarding status of PyOpenCL and PyCUDA in Debian.
PyCUDA is in testing (future Stretch), rebuild agains CUDA 8.0. Not
many changes there.
PyOpenCL is in unstable. I uploaded version built against few
additional architectures (not only amd64 and i386) - so please test if
you have appropriate hardware. My goal is to have PyOpenCL built for
all architectures for whose there is ICD provider in Debian. It looks
like there is some problem with some of the architectures and that’s
why package has not yet migrated to testing. Basically different ICDs
are for different architectures so I need to maintain list of them
manually. Again - please test.
At the same time I have a question for you Andreas. There will be
freeze of Stretch on 2017-01-05. I’d like to upload PyOpenCL and PyCUDA
in mid-December, and those versions will be versions for Stretch. Do
you plan new releases, or should I just take snapshots from git?
Best regards.

Support for C/C++ codegen from pyopencl?
by Nick Curtis
Hi,
I was just wondering, if you build a kernel in PyOpenCL is there any way to
access the underlying C/C++ code that builds and calls the kernel, and
export it to a file for external use? It would be convenient if so, but
fine if not!
Thanks,
Nick
