Sure, but only after the versions available build and work at least on
all the release architectures.  So far, llvm 3.9 is still affected by
#866354, since it did not build fine again since then -- this is
holding kdevelop in unstable for more than 2 months, and I really would
like to get it into testing.

I see that each of the llvm sources has various bugs, FTBFSes, cmake
issues, and so forth... as a suggestion from a bystander, what about
focusing on at most 3 versions of llvm in the archive, instead of
upload every version available (and then have to cleanup llvm users
periodically, like with bugs like this)?

Doing that with the current state of llvm versions would be a bad idea.
