Bug#586900: llvm-2.7: Please use the debian alternatives system

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: llvm-2.7
Version: 2.7-3
Severity: wishlist


llvm-2.7 ships binaries such as llvm-config-2.7, llc-2.7, llvm-link-2.7
etc.

I like being able to install version 2.6 and 2.7 (and later versions) but
would still like to be able to llvm-config, llc and llvm-link point to the
2.7 version instead of the 2.6 version.

The debian alternatives system should be able to make this relatively
easy.
