I was getting my information from here:

http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/l/llvm-toolchain-3.8/llvm-toolchain-3.8_3.8.1-3_changelog

llvm-toolchain-3.8 (1:3.8~+rc1-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New snapshot release
  * Cmake migration. Done by Andrew Wilkins. Many thanks to him
    [..]
    - Remove LLVM-internal tools (lit, FileCheck, not, tblgen, etc.)
    - Remove llvm-X.Y-tools package, because it contained only
      internal tools that are not intended for distribution.
    [..]

So now I'm a bit confused.
