I understand that libhyperscan just depends on SSE, so there can't be runtime switching there, but there is an alternative possibility: Provide a /usr/bin/suricata which detects the presence of SSE right now, and exec's one of two appropriate suricata binaries. The difficulty with this is that the system would have to have a nonfunctional libhyperscan installed on it, for dependency reasons, but if there are not many callers of libhyperscan all of the callers could do whatever check or fallback is appropriate; if there are many callers of libhyperscan, libhyperscan.deb could provide a checking facility to be used by callers.
