Bug#816923: lldb-3.6: Add lldb-mi symbolic link

[Marc-Andre Laperle]

Package: lldb-3.6
Version: 1:3.6.2-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Right now, if the lldb pacakage is installed, lldb-mi-3.6 is installed in
/usr/bin. It would be useful to have a symbolic link that would be named lldb-
mi pointing to lldb-mi-3.6. This way, tools (IDEs) that have to interact with
lldb-mi would not have to specify the version or try to find it in manually.

I have modified the source package locally to achieve this and it was not very
difficult. I attached a simple patch. The change is in llvm-defaults
