I guess we can just snarf that out of the Marillat package.

This makes no sense.  The only people using this are those compiling a 
Debian package from our sources.  Why on earth would they want to give 
up their specific CPU optimizations?  This flag should only be used for 
binary packages, and for binary packages people will turn to the 
Marillat packages.

Does this really work for you?  I have

vo=xmga,mga

in my config file, however xmga does not fall back to mga, it just 
fails.  Shall I provide more details?
