** Description changed:

+ [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.
