Package: clang
Severity: wishlist
Please could you consider providing separate clang packages for each major
upstream release? E.g. like gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, etc.
As some programs (like kernels and bootloaders) are very sensitive to changes
in the compiler, if they use clang as build dependency they may need to require
a specific version.
