No, there should be no difference between the workaround and the
behaviour of the updated Nvidia driver packages, 331.38-0ubuntu8 in
Utopic and 331.38-0ubuntu7.1 in Trusty (when it lands).  The workaround
causes nvidia-libopencl1-* (Nvidia's OpenCL ICD loader) to be removed
and replaced by ocl-icd-libopencl1 (the generic OpenCL ICD loader).  The
updated Nvidia drivers have their dependencies fixed so the package
manager is able to figure this out on its own.

Wine and all other packages using OpenCL in the Ubuntu repository were
compiled against ocl-icd-libopencl1 and thus depend on it in order to
run.  There can only be one OpenCL ICD loader installed on your system,
so removing nvidia-libopencl1-* and installing ocl-icd-libopencl1 is the
correct action.  One can, however, have multiple OpenCL ICDs installed,
of which nvidia-opencl-icd-* is one.

Yes, LP: 1247736 has already entered the Stable Release Update (SRU)
process.  If this process is successful the fix will be made available
in trusty-updates.
