[Bug 657911] [NEW] should provide unversioned llvm-gcc alternatives symlinks

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: dragonegg

llvm-gcc-4.2 and llvm-gcc-4.5 both have "Provides: llvm-gcc", so they
should actually provide a common interface/symlink at /usr/bin/llvm-gcc,
llvm-g++, etc, and drop the "Conflicts: llvm-gcc" that makes it
impossible to install both. This way configuration scripts (like LLVM's
own) that search the path for 'llvm-gcc' will be able to find them
(right now that doesn't work for llvm-gcc-4.2).

To be parallel-installable, the shell scripts in llvm-gcc-4.5 would have
to add a -4.5 suffix, the same way that the 4.2 package installs its
executables with -4.2 suffixes now.
