[Debian-med-packaging] Help to build library in generic form, avx and sse3

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I've started packaging Phylogenetic Likelihood Library[1].  Since it
makes heavy use of amd64 features it comes with specific support of AVX
and SSE3.  My plan is to provide binary packages amd64 only named
libpll-avx1 and libpll-sse3-1 with the according features plus a generic
library libpll-generic1 for all architectures.  Upstream supports the
creation of separate avx and sse3 libs out of the box but I failed to
create the generic version.  So I have two questions:

  1. Could anybody please have a look at the automake stuff to
     enable the build of the generic lib in addition to the other
     two.  I tried several switches but failed. :-(

  2. What do you think about the plan to support specific hardware
     features in separate binary packages?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
