Source: faiss
Version: 1.6.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the Description: field of the faiss packages is a bit misleading. It
says "Some of the most useful algorithms are implemented on the GPU.",
but I was suspicious when I didn't see anything GPU-related in the
dependencies, and indeed after getting the sources I saw in debian/rules
-DFAISS_ENABLE_GPU=OFF. Could you clarify the description please? For
instance, python3-torch has "This is the CPU-only version of [...]".

(of course if you can make a GPU-enabled package for contrib, that would
be great, but I am sure you already know that and it isn't the purpose
of this report)

Thanks to the AI team for the nice work they are doing these days.
