Debian targets lots of low-end hardware.

Also, I think there's a bit of confusion here.  Does olpcsound do anything
/differently/ from csound, or does it simply /leave out/ certain
capabilities?  If the latter, then it seems the question is more about
saving disk space than CPU time.  (Both are valuable, of course.)

Either way, it seems like some metapackaging is in order, so that each
dependency can choose to depend on one or either.
