You're still not getting it. The diff you gave shows that the only differences
are in the depends and madedepends arrays. If that's the only difference, then
there *IS NO DIFFERENCE*. A dep on "llvm-libs" is satisfied by llvm-libs-git,
so it works in both cases, just as is intended. There is no editing the
PKGBUILD needed by users of either option. That's how "provides" works.
