I uploaded the latest version of libedit in Debian experimental:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/libe/libedit.html
and requested a sync for Ubuntu Saucy:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208524

Hopefully, this will fix the lldb issues.
I requested for feedback from some Debian maintainers/teams on this new
releases. Once I get enough, I will upload this version in Debian
unstable (and it will migrate to Debian testing aka jessie).
I will backport it for http://llvm.org/apt/ at some point.
