Hi,
you might have read about the initiative from Linaro to detect assembly
code in Free Software to increase portablility. I checked their list
for packages inside Debian Med (which became fairly easy by using the
recent not yet published stuff to solve #703402) and here is the list of
packages with some relevance for Debian Med that might deserve some
checking whether it might be possible to dissable / remove assembly
code. I also add relevant contact (upstream or Debian maintainer in
case of generic packages like octave) in CC.
