No worries! :)

clang-tools is a meta package. It will point to the "recommended" version of clang

bravo for finding the exact place :)


> Sylvestre: Do we have that right? If we want a clangd symlink for the next clang-tools release, should I add one line to "rules" and send you a GitLab merge requsest?

I did it for you and uploaded it in Debian experimental already.

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/llvm-defaults/commit/a3e61c84f6ccb55d41b4dec5461cc437d9cb4ba9

Should be also live on https://apt.llvm.org/ in the next few hours!
