All Clang-preferring upstreams I know use their own build, downloaded when the development environment is set up. The system Clang compiler would still be not blessed by upstream. Given that people who build with the system compiler on Linux are more likely to use GCC than Clang, switching to a system Clang compiler may not actually result in a more-tested build environment. Unless there is a plan to add firefox-clang, chromium-clang &c packages, but I really can't see that happening. I'm not saying that the proposed Change is wrong, it's just that this particular argument based on upstream preference is not very compelling because upstreams do not actually prefer to use Clang system compilers.
