As I checked Ubuntu (at least Lucid Lynx) does not have libcuda; this library is packaged in Debian and maintainers take care that it is in version compatible with drivers present in the distribution. I am also not sure what version of nVidia drivers is present in Ubuntu - looking at names of packages the latest is 185, which might be to old to be able to run CUDA programs. As pycuda depends on nVidia drivers, libcuda and CUDA toolkit, I am not sure whether package depending on programs and libraries not existing in distribution will be accepted. Of course that would not present someone from creating private repository. Problem with that is that I do not have experience with Ubuntu policies and do not have easy access to the machine with Ubuntu and nVidia hardware. The only computer with Ubuntu I have is eeePC 701, having Intel GPU. The earliest I might be able to sit in front of such a machine with Ubuntu+nVidia will be in the end of the next week. For now I intend to focus on making sure that Debian packages are as good as I can, and then will look at Ubuntu side of packaging pycuda. In the long run I would like for pycuda be both in Debian and Ubuntu (from what I can see many of students installing Linux on laptops install Ubuntu, so it would mean that they could install pycuda with ease) but I do need to focus on packaging for Debian. pycuda is the first package I am creating and I do not believe that it would be wise to try to do dual-system package with my (limited) level of knowledge. So in summary - you need patience for now.
