Not sure I understand. Those packages are built with gcc and gcc's
libobjc and don't depend in any way on clang nor libobjc2. You should
be able to install clang without side effects.

I would like to package libobjc2 and depend on it but never found the
time overcome the differents problems I encountered when I tried.

Compiling with clang is tempting but it seems people in the clang camp
are moving too fast : I can't compike dbuskit with clang 3.0 from
ubuntu 12.10 for example.

Thanks,
Philippe
