Any progress on this?
In pseudo code:
eval company-backends to check if company-clang is an element
if non nil (eg: if the company-clang element exists)
remove company-clang from company-backends
(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-irony)
Justification: company-clang and company-irony should not be used at
the same time, and company-irony replaces company-clang.
Also, here are some resources for patching the upstream description
and for improving the Debian description:

Happy hacking,
