Looking again at atlas's build system, I realize that I was wrong: it *is* selecting the more generic set of processor instructions. So there is no need to modify the build system AFAIUI, sorry for the noise. But then I don't understand why the package built by the maintainer is broken. -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics & Debian Maintainer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien Phone: +33-1-40-77-84-04 - GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594 pgp2rySiERGrm.pgp Description: PGP signature

First, note that the decision to request a binNMU has been made jointly with the maintainer (whom I am going to help to maintain this package). What is clear is that the atlas binaries built on the amd64 buildds should not have the problem that is affecting the current amd64 binary (for example I tested the binary for 3.8.4-3 which was built on buildds and it is sane). So a binNMU seems a good short-term solution. But I agree with you that the long-term solution is to have a package whose behaviour does not depend on the machine on which it was built. I am currently discussing with Sylvestre how to achieve this.

A rebuild fixes the problem. How? By assuming that the buildd has a less recent CPU? That would be broken. (I.e. please fix the build system instead.) If the maintainer, however, had put local overrides in place and built with them, then this request is valid (and the maintainer should be LARTed appropriately).
