and the latest version is only distributed in the form of three
separate packages, which require manual dependency resolution.

In order to get `dotnet`, we need to add an additional package source: The [bootstrap script](../../bootstrap.sh) does the following:
```sh - Adds the LLVM package feed
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet/ trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list' - Installs our dependencies combined with the dependencies of the .NET

The drawback of using the feed is that it gets out of date. To upgrade
the package, install it by hand. Unfortunately, `dpkg` does not handle
dependency resolution, so it is recommended to first install the older
version from the feed, and then upgrade it.
