I understand you concern but I have a different issue.
I am using the same debian repo for http://apt.llvm.org/
As I am supporting old Ubuntu distro, your patch is going to break the
dependencies as cmake is not available.
(I am using an upstream cmake tarball).

Would you have a workaround which could fix that?

Thanks
