Upon searching online, I found this:
http://clang.debian.net/
I set up clang and made symlinks to replace gcc by clang, as outlined there, see
attachments. Next everything was set up in order to build a kernel-package, but 
this
failed as expected. I thought for some time, whether this is a minor issue, but 
then
realized, that this is experimental, that it is bad style to just remove gcc 
and other
executables and replace them by symlinks, so it is a wishlist item.
Most of the debian archive seems to build fine already with the latest clang 
3.2, it
seems that some work has to be done in order to make kernel-package, i.e. 
make-kpkg
clang-compatible. It would not even be necessary to do this symlink thing in 
order to do
so.
