Possibly because of these:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=llvm

I addressed the first one and fixed it in CVS -- LLVM used to produce an
executable named `extract' which conflicted with another program of the
same name; I renamed ours to `llvm-extract'.  However, they are building
the .deb from 1.4, so the patch didn't make it nor were they interested.
Instead, they marked it as "conflicting" with `extract', but the bug is
not closed.

The second one is a "serious policy violation", which isn't as clear to
me what the bug reporter is saying, but it mentions warnings during
doxygen build and missing fonts and related issues that I'm not quite
following.

If anyone wants to look into this, details are here:
