Title:
  [SRU] llvm-defaults 0.33ubuntu4 [was: lldb package does not provide a
  lldb-server symlink to the current default version]

Status in llvm-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in llvm-defaults source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The lldb package in xenial provides a unversioned symlink only for
  the lldb-3.8 executable from the lldb-3.8 package, but not for the
  lldb-server-3.8, lldb-argdumper-3.8 and lldb-mi-3.8 binaries

  * It breaks lldb's ability to run an executable inside the debugger

  * It breaks user expectation as the other three binaries cannot be
  invoked by the unversioned name

  [Test Case]

   * Start a debugging session for any application with `lldb <path to
  executable>

  * On the lldb prompt enter `run`

  * Expected result: The application is run inside the debugger
  * Actual result: The debugger cannot launch the application, because it cannot find the `lldb-server` component of lldb

  [Regression Potential]

   * None, the bugfix adds unversioned symlinks for the rest of the
  executables from the lldb-3.8 package, which were missing before. It
  should not affect the behaviour of any other application on the
  system.

  [Other Info]
   
   * This is a very simple patch by just adding three more symlinks in the packaging.

  [Original Bug Description]

  The lldb package provides a symlink to the current default version of
  lldb, so that the command lldb works as an alias to the real
  executable lldb-3.8.

  Please also provide a similar symlink for the lldb-server executable.
  The current lldb-3.8 package already provides the executable with the
  name lldb-server-3.8.
