I'm wondering if package mesa-opencl-icd would do the trick (version 
22.3.6-1+deb12u1 like the other installed mesa packages). From the description 
it seems to be the right package:

free implementation of the OpenCL API -- ICD runtime
 This package contains the mesa implementation of the OpenCL (Open Compute 
Language) library, which is intended for use with an ICD loader. OpenCL provides 
a standardized interface for computational analysis on graphical processing units.

Jörg.
