I updated the soname as part of the coordination to switch to llvm 3.5.
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/llvm-defaults-3.html

Did you also switch the binary package name? For any soname change you
need to have the package name to follow.

See e.g. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html
| Every time the shared library ABI changes in a way that may break

Can you please do that so that we could schedule the binNMUs after
this is done?

The package name is libclang1-3.5
and the soname is libclang-3.5.so.1

Initially, I uploaded with libclang-3.5.so as soname since the ABI remains
the same over a version of libclang but dpkg-shlibdeps complained about the missing .1 even
if it seems valid in the policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html
"The soname may instead be of the form name-major-version.so, such as libdb-5.1.so, in which case the name would be libdb and the version would be 5.1. "

What would you want in term of package naming ? I don't know what would work best here
libclang-3.5.1 is kind of a bad name.

If possible, I would prefer to keep the following naming and fix the doxygen breakage by the
binNMU.
