Package: isa-support Version: 11 Severity: normal Hi,
I was just wondering what the isa-support package is doing since it just got installed here (pulled in by chromium). The description says: Description-en: prevent installation on processors without required features This is a mostly dummy package, whose only purpose is to detect the presence of architecture features. I can see what the sse3-support package is supposed to be doing, but what does "isa" support test? Also, I'd say a package is either a dummy package, or it does something sensible, so I don't think the description "dummy with a purpose" makes sense. Poking around a bit I realized that isa-support is just pulled in because sse3-support creates this symlink: /usr/share/doc/sse3-support -> isa-support/ Please update the package description to really say what it is doing, instead of trying to hide behind a wall of hand-waving.
