I think we have several packages using sse or equivalent optimization 
requirements (hardware or software). They focus on performance and optimization 
and upstream usually do not see the point to do the hard work of making 
software work with non compatible archs while the main usage of this software 
is its performance advantage vs others. We should only restrict their arch in 
such cases.

Also uploaded, though I couldn't help you with the reproducibility
issue. Maybe it can be resolved for the next upload.

Thanks and regards
