I have a vague idea from the name, but does this mean that I can't use the build generated via debian8 for cuda?  Or, do I have to run the debian8 build *on* debian8?  It would be helpful to me to have answers to those questions in the document.
You can use clang inside debian8 image to compile for cuda, but you won't have access to the GPU if you run the image you've built in a container, i.e. you can build the cuda binary, but you can't really run it on the GPU.
Nvidia has their own wrapper around docker for running containers that do have access to the GPU. And you should also use their base images for that to work.

Added the docs explaining which image one would want to choose.
