Thanks, it seems to be working.

It's a bit annoying that the resulting constraints aren't easily visible
(e.g. APT just keep searching or tells you "no solution" but doesn't
tell you that FOO can't be installed because it depends on BAR which
depends on BAZ which depends on `sse2-support`), but it's better
than nothing.
