Makes sense :)

I guess this request comes from

Package: libclang-perl
Depends: perl (>= 5.26.0-4), perlapi-5.26.0, libc6 (>= 2.4), libclang1-3.8 (>= 1:3.8.1-19~)

This dependency is inserted by dh_shlibs, d/control only has
unversioned dependencies:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9.20120312~),
               libdevel-checklib-perl,
               perl,
               libclang-dev,
               llvm,
               chrpath


I've now built it with the bdeps changed to libclang-dev (>= 1:4.0)
and llvm (>= 1:4.0) in an experimental chroot, and it seems to just
work:

Depends: perl (>= 5.26.0-5), perlapi-5.26.0, libc6 (>= 2.4), libclang1-4.0 (>= 1:4.0-3~)


So it looks like a simple binNMU once llvm 4.0 enters unstable should
be enough? -- Looking into the package history, that was actually the
outcome of #803645.
