I am sorry but I don't know what you mean.

llvm-defaults proposes various symlink to have a common version for all 
packages (clang-format included)

if you want a new version, install the package "clang-format" from 
experimental or apt.llvm.org

or use clang-format-X and use the binary called the same way.

Thanks
