This is actually not exactly true. The point is that, in Squeeze, the
ATLAS package was using the optimization flags of the machine on which
the package had been compiled. Which, for some developer
machines/buildds could indeed mean SSE2.

For Wheezy the situation should have improved because we have moved
towards a more generic ATLAS package (see changelog entry for 3.8.4-7).
But there are still SIGILL issues on some machines that I don't
understand.

For Jessie this should improve again, since upstream now supports a
"generic binary" mode in ATLAS 3.10.
