As I mentioned on #-release:
I think we should just document that the baseline on i386 now requires
SSE2 instead of limiting the statement to selected packages. If apt
requires SSE2 indirectly, it doesn't matter to most users that
technically it is only sqv.
For what it's worth, I agree.
Even if there was a supportable way to make apt on i386 use some
gpgv-based signature verification in preference to sqv, if our official
documentation slightly over-states the requirement, it will make the
message clearer to the non-experts who need to see this in the
documentation; similar to the way we make sure to say that skipping a
release is unsupported, even though a Debian expert can often make it
work (at their own risk, and perhaps not in the case of trixie).
I've proposed
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/261 to
explicitly call out a semi-modern CPU as being required for i386's
remaining use-cases.

(which was subsequently merged, and my MR adds to it)
