Basically there is no really nice solution there because the packagename libclang1-3.5 was already used for the soname libclang.so.1. The two major options are: 1. Change back the soname (which is of course wrong otherwise) 2. Change the package name to something like libclang1-3.5a. I also have an idea for an ugly hack but I need to think a bit more about it. From package POV it might be the "niciest", but I'm not sure if it works (which is a precondition for everything). I'll update this mail tonight.
