lldb-server exec users always /usr/bin/lldb-server. Server is required for any debugging with lldb which makes it unusable unless default version package has been installed. Small changes to code and debian/rules allows a workaround for lldb-server start up. To use this one needs to add cmake defination during configure. eg -DDEBIAN_VERSION_SUFFIX=-$(LLVM_VERSION) Better implementation would be to use /usr/share/llvm-$(VERSION)/bin but that change seems to require a big change to the path handling code which could then break something else. This probably should have upstream bug but I couldn't find any existing report.
