If you do `find_package(Clang 16.0)`, it will error out if the dev packages are not present, since it will try to reference static libraries (and other artifacts) that don't exist and try to create IMPORTED targets for those. @smeenai @beanz do you know more about that, or do you know someone that does? Do you know who set up the CMake config files so that `find_package(Clang)` would work in the first place? I'd also welcome your input on the `ClangConfigVersion.cmake.in` changes.

IIRC, the intended solution was to use `LLVM_DISTRIBUTION_COMPONENTS` (https://llvm.org/docs/BuildingADistribution.html). When you use that option, the generated CMake package files (at least in the install tree; I'm not sure about the ones in the build tree) should only contain imported targets that were part of your distribution. Multi-distribution support extends this even further, where the file defining the imported targets for a distribution is only imported if it's present, so things should work as expected both with and without the dev packages. Is that workable for your use case?
