I have binNMUed it as this is blocking rdeps from building, including those that
depend on unversioned llvm packages, as llvm-defaults is now uninstallable on
mips64el.

Keeping this bug opened here as Julien wanted to look at how we got here. I
think the problem was that #839033's subject mentioned mips64el, but that
information was outdated, and that confused the ftp team member. The fact that
llvm-toolchain-snapshot builds versioned binaries that later get taken over by
llvm-toolchain-X.Y didn't help here.

Cheers,
