Package: clang-tidy
Version: 1:4.0-37~exp3
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

Paul recommended I file this bug, and I've CCed him so he can confirm that I'm not misrepresenting his intent.

The first version that I can confirm is affected is 1:3.8-36.

In the interest of enabling upstream packages to unbundle run-clang-tidy.py clang-tidy-diff.py from their test suites, please create these symlinks:

/usr/bin/run-clang-tidy-4.0.py => /usr/bin/run-clang-tidy.py
/usr/bin/clang-tidy-diff-$version.py => /usr/bin/clang-tidy-diff-$version.py

Thank you!
Nicholas
