[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!
