Description:

The naming of the package does not make clear that the package is not only 'optimized', but actually requires some particular cpu features to run at all, so the user may be tempted to install and run on not compatible cpus.

The package should be renamed to `python-tensorflow-avx2` or something like that, so to make immediately clear the requirements.

The same problem affect also the packages:

`python-tensorflow-opt-cuda`
`python-pytorch-opt`
`python-pytorch-opt-cuda`
This task depends upon

I'd rather not rename it but put the requirements in the description. What do you think about that?

That may be a valid solution as well, as long as the requirements are made clear.
I'm not that familiar with packaging and related issues, so if you think that it would avoid creating other problems then it may be better as you say.
