I think it's doubtful we'll have a 9.1 backport at this point, given
that we fast-tracked 9.2 in sid/jessie already.

Steven et al: I guess we'll have to revisit this later? 9.2 backport maybe?

What is certain right now is that clang-3.2 won't be needed for jessie:
Our lowest release candidate is 9.2, which in upstream includes
clang-3.3 already.
