And #715129 is about the broken symlink

which is now in python3-lldb-XX and has broken symlinks as well, #1036614

So the dependency should better be moved to python3-lldb-XX.
But if we change the targets of the symlinks, we can get away with just 
a dependency on libllvmXX

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  51 Jun 27 06:58 libLLVM-16.0.6.so.1 -> 
../../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-16.0.6.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  51 Jun 27 06:58 libLLVM-16.so.1 -> 
../../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-16.0.6.so.1

The link targets could both be set to just libLLVM-16.so.1 ...

(Are they actually used?)
