Hi to the Debian Clang maintainer[s].

We are weighing up using GCC vs. Clang for the kFreeBSD 9.1 and later
kernels for jessie, and possibly also for wheezy-backports.

I would like to ask which versions of clang are expected to be released
with jessie?

Also, is there a possibility of clang-3.2 or newer being available
through wheezy-backports?

Thanks!  And let us know if you have any other ideas/comments.
