I think you misunderstand the alternatives system.  It's used for things
that are much more different then simply ABI or API changes.  It
selected completed different applications, Unity VS Gnome VS KDE.  The
show stopper for alternatives is at X vs console applications, now if
llvm-3.2 was a console app and llvm-3.1 was an X app then yes
alternatives would seem inappropriate.  However I'd say try and see if
there is a problem, you can always have an alternative for the x and
console only variants.

Here are some examples of alternatives that change ABI and API as well as the 
user interface drastically:
x-window-manager
mozilla-flashplugin
x-terminal-emulator
www-browser
x-www-browser
