Noted :-)  I didn't realise this, and have two biases: 1) no-change
backports of pkgs are strongly preferred, and Mesa in testing uses LLVM
10.  2) an irony-mode (clang-powered Emacs mode for C, C++, and Obj-C)
user filed an upstream issue requesting clang-10 support in the Debian
package.

So it looks like the main blocker at this time is #952710
"firmware-amd-graphics: AMD Navi GPU doesn't work".
