Bug#994537: ffmpeg: Please don't unconditionally build depend on clang

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello!

Any chance this bug could get fixed soonish?

ffmpeg is a rather important dependency for a lot of other packages and
being BD-Uninstallable will therefore block a lot of packages from built
on the affected architectures.

Please keep in mind that we don't have the cruft feature in Debian Ports
which keeps build dependencies installable all the time [1].

Thanks for reporting this. I just ran into this as well.

FWIW, x32 can be removed from this list once clang defaults to version 13.

m68k might follow in the future.

Version: 7:4.4-1
Severity: important

Build depending on clang made ffmpeg unbuildable on several ports
architectures where clang is not available.

Please excelude from the clang build dependency  architectures
where llvm-toolchain-11 is not available:
  [!alpha !hppa !ia64 !kfreebsd-amd64 !kfreebsd-i386 !m68k !sh4 !x32]
