Seems to be in pretty much all llvm versions on debian, so lldb pulling in
380MB llvm internal stuff can be called a historical feature by now.
I am using a hacked together package that omits llvm-dev as dependency,
havent found an issue yet.

Unrelated, but lldb-vscode
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/lldb/tools/lldb-vscode
would need the package.json file. Dont see how installation for vscode
could be automated,
but having the file say in /usr/lib/llvm-16/share/lldb would help.
