Unfortunately upstream does not officially support LLVM 3.4 yet, not
even for the latest development sources (it seems to compile, but there
are issues, like https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6369 ). For
the current stable release (0.2) that is in sid, it is even worse, since
julia FTBFS due to LLVM API changes.

So at the very least I have to package a development snapshot. I need to
get several new build dependencies through NEW, so it will take some
time. Hopefully that will be done before the jessie freeze.

Cheers,
