I'm not sure why shipping something recent enough (llvm 3.5) in jessie
should mean switching the default to that version.

Moreover, switching toolchain defaults while we're trying to freeze
library transitions doesn't look like a good idea; especially since
3.5 packages aren't exactly bug free.

(Granted, it's easy to say that once breakages have been noted. But
I would have expected such things to be detected and fixed before a
transition is proposed!)
