  It's not hard. Just do the following,

---
$ wget http://llvm.org/releases/3.0/llvm-3.0.tar.gz; tar xvf llvm-3.0.tar.gz
$ cd llvm-3.0.src/tools/
$ wget http://llvm.org/releases/3.0/clang-3.0.tar.gz; tar xvf clang-3.0.tar.gz
$ mv clang-3.0.src/ clang/ ; cd ../..; mkdir build; cd build
$ ../llvm-3.0.src/configure ; make install
---

  The only thing you have to take care is http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#requirements
, but I think it's shouldn't be a problem right now.

  You should consult Debian/Ubuntu package management team or ask on
Debian/Ubuntu IRC/ML.
