Hi,

First if we bump ABI could we target "pABI v0" aka amd64 baseline 
instead of only SSE2 ?

It is perfectly equivalent (except minor point about FXSR).

Moreover you could test cpu support using this 
https://wiki.debian.org/InstructionSelection#Isa_support_package

I have made qemu-good qemu-bad wrapper to test if needed

In this case, for your user I will add a wrapper that at preinst time warn user 
about unsupported instrution for next debian version and backport to bookworm PU

I suppose dpkg could be made pre depends on this wrapper and we could break the 
upgrade if instruction is not supported
