Not directly. My intention was to leave switching the defaults to a follow-up.

Yes, Debian uses a slightly different SONAME in its builds (e.g. for LLVM 3.8.0, SONAME is libLLVM-3.8.so.1), and would also like to maintain compatibility. I was hoping to cut down on the number of patches that Debian makes on top of LLVM, but perhaps it's not a good argument for adding this complexity to the LLVM project.
