I've put together http://llvm.org/docs/Packaging.html to document
these kinds of requests for all packagers in one place. Let me know if
any of the advice I've put there is wrong. (At the moment,
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/docs/Packaging.html?view=co
is more up to date, but the website should catch up sooner or later.)
