Bug#893189: llvm-defaults to llvm-7 ? [was: Re: Bug#893189: transition: llvm-defaults to llvm 6.0]

Julia upstream backported many patches from llvm-7 to their vendored
llvm-6 source. However it's llvm-7 support is still under development
and is not likely to be merged by the stable 1.0.X series.
I may have to port some patches from llvm-7 to Debian's llvm-6 for
julia 1.0.X, if upstream doesn't release julia 1.1 before Buster release,
which would support llvm-7.

IIRC Julia 1.0.X FTBFS with llvm-7. Sorry for the bad news :(
If upstream can release 1.1.X before Buster freeze, julia
won't block llvm-6 removal.
