This looks quite annoying.  The basic pattern here is that the porter
may need to install modified build-deps.  This seems like it must come
up all the time.  DSA, do you have any suggestions ?

I was going to suggest that if the llvm-toolchain maintainers agree,
perhaps the package with the proposed patch could be uploaded to
experimental.  But in my ad-hoc tests I couldn't get dd-schroot-cmd to
even install the package from experimental.
