I don't recall having seen this specific issue discussed before here:
As part of its build process the atlas package autodetects the number of CPUs, and applies a build flag appropriately. Unfortunately, the result is that the .deb files aren't identical on different machines:
Single processor G4:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 5754496 19 Aug 11:02 atlas_3.6.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
Dual processor G4:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 26614516 18 Aug 22:17 scilab_3.0-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
Given the nature of the package, it would probably be a good thing to have separate single- and dual-cpu variants (for that matter a G5-optimized one would be good, too). Presumably this would require dependencies new virtual packages for the type and number of CPUs.
This would open the door to G5-optimized variants of packages, though, so it might be a useful option.
