[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#828209: libssw: FTBFS on non-SSE architectures

Source: libssw
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds for libssw failed on the vast majority architectures due to lack
of support for x86 SSE instructions.  AFAICT, libssw specifically makes a
point of using these instructions, so support for non-x86 architectures
is presumably a lost cause.  However, you might still be able to save
*i386 by explicitly building with -msse or -msse2.  I normally recommend
*against* using these flags, but the alternative is losing support for
these architectures altogether.  (All the same, if you do go this route,
please declare a dependency on sse-support [i386] once that package is
available, as discussed in #823672.)

Please update the Architecture: field in debian/control to reflect
whatever you wind up doing, remembering to account for non-Linux kernels:

  Architecture: any-amd64 any-i386 any-x32

or

  Architecture: any-amd64 any-x32

Thanks!
