Doxygen in sid/jessie has a dependency on libclang1-3.5 but still looks
for libclang.so.1, which was once shipped by that package.
That's why I thought the package name must change, to make sure
all incidents of this are cleaned up, and any package with dependency
on libclang1-3.5 (possibly broken) transitioned to something like
libclang2-3.5 (only shipping a libclang-3.5.so.2 and not libclang.so.1).
By the way, the doxygen issue was temporarily fixed by the symlink and
brltty was able to build; if there is going to be a new upload to try
to address this it could perhaps go to experimental first, if that makes
it any easier to review and check it?
