 From looking at the build logs it looks like it is trying to build  a 
"plain CPU plugin" and a "CPU with SSE plugin", presumablly the 
"plugins" are different peices of code that can be used to perform the 
core computations. It looks like you will need to modify the build 
system so that it is possible to disable building the "CPU with SSE plugin".

But thats only my gut feeling from looking at the build logs and package 
discriptions, this really needs to be confirmed by someone who actually 
knows the internals of the package in question.

If you can't handle this then I don't think you are competant to be 
maintaining this package in debian. Knowing how the components of the 
software they are packaging fit together and how to fix the build 
systems to produce packages suitable for debian is IMO a pretty key part 
of a maintainers job.
