Debian wheezy is in freeze. It is not possible to upload new upstream
versions anymore unless there is very strong reasons.
Between 1.3 and 1.4, some code of ocl-icd have been refactored. So,
the upstream 1.4 would have been refused by the Debian release team.
However, I asked and obtained to upload a patched version of ocl-icd
1.3 where I backported 1.4 fixes.
This is why the Debian Wheezy package, whereas stamped as a 1.3-X version,
can be used to develop with OpenCL.

ocl-icd.pc should be used to get development files (mainly headers)
for ICD internals (ie, it should be used when creating ICD, it is a
easy way to get the internal dispatch function)
OpenCL.pc can/should be used by OpenCL programs to compile and link
against OpenCL headers/library (ie ICD loader). I would be very
pleased if other ICD loaders also provides an pc file. This is
not the case for now and I did not pushed for that yet. In my
opinion, most other ICD loader (but amd ones) should add versionned
symbols (Intel, NVidia) and use a good SONAME (Intel) before
providing a pc file.
