Alexander: I'm trying to phase out ATLAS, since Apple's VecLib provides
most (if not all) of the functionality and speed. Scilab is one of the few
(maybe the only?) package that still Depends on it.

And it's really only scilab-atlas. I'm not sure if

I haven't been able to get atlas to compile on a dual G5 yet anyway, so a change is probably good here.

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.
