I'm using Ubuntu, hope that's not a problem. I could of course test
Debian too if that's required.
I had to install fglrx ("jockey"/distro package) and download the AMD
APP SDK [1], as far as I can tell no further opencl related packages
were needed.

Well, none of the mentioned packages is installed here. But you need
to use their SDK.
