Bug#904688: qttools-opensource-src: FTBFS: please drop the libclang-dev B-D on some architectures

True. MuseScore does that too, but not from qdoc AFAICT.
Can we unbundle the resources but still make them available
in a way that the ":/filename" access form works (i.e. still
create something like the resource bundle, but build it as
part of build-indep and ship it separately)? Otherwise I fear
it would be patching way too much, in that specific case,
which does not strictly need it.
As for the qdoc ones… sucks, but we still need to have
something to go forward from here. Options, as far as
I saw them, are (not necessarily orthogonal):
• patch qttools itself and two other packages to keep the
resources external
• make an older qdoc available on those architectures
• see if the clang parser can be built without having
an LLVM target, i.e. unbundled from the LLVM+Clang
toolchain that targets the native architecture
(might require an intrusive package split on clang side)
My Qt/C++ skills are not very good, but if I can help any…

<igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea.
<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
