Yeah, I've bumped the quilt dependency in mesa-17.3.3-1. But it looks like
Gianfranco has already uploaded that quilt version to backports [1]. Thanks
Gianfranco!

So the next step would be to find a DD for sponsoring the llvm upload.
The best way for this is to prepare and upload the backport of
llvm-toolchain-5.0 to mentors [2].
For the other packages we want to have the backports to be prepared in
the VCS. See also the branches for jessie-backports. I'll look into this
task.
