Hi Stefan, hi Norbert,

code that uses SSE2 instructions, so `texlive-binaries` was changed to
require `sse2-support`.

Hmm, so SSE2 is not a requirement on Debian?

Not sure. If that would a requirement the priority of that issue would
be probably higher than wishlist.

As I understood the situation it is not luatex, which does not work on
your computer, but just the luajit... variants. So I could split them
out into a new package, which is only needed by texlive-extra-utils, b/c
this package tries to build luajit... formats.

Or you could drop building luaJIT completely. fmtutil already ignores
errors from missing luajit* engines, so that would be an easy way.
And if Debian requires halfway decent machines, the it can be
reactived.

For post-bookworm I'll do the split, commit has been done. For bookworm
itself I could think about removing the luajit binaries in a point
release, if they are not needed in all cases. I'll test that later on.
