Re: Bug#737731: libhwloc-contrib-plugins: depends on ocl-icd-libopencl1 instead of libopencl1
Control: retitle -1 dpkg-shlibdeps: Document that the main-dependency-template always gets added

As you can see here, the main-dependency-template is being used just
because the binary links against the library.

Oh, I'm fixing this too.

The latter, as mentioned above, I'm documenting it for 1.17.7.
