libclang-3.4-dev contains broken link to missing libclang.so

[Andreas Pokorny]

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04

Installed all relevant clang 3.4 packages including libclang-3.4-dev and libclang1-3.4.
Expected a libclang.so with version suffix in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and plain in /usr/lib/llvm-3.4/lib

But there is only a 3.3 labled in /usr/lib:

# file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libclang-3.3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libclang-3.3.so: broken symbolic link to `../llvm-3.3/lib/libclang.so'

and another broken link in the llvm-3.4 subdir:

# file /usr/lib/llvm-3.4/lib/libclang.so.1
/usr/lib/llvm-3.4/lib/libclang.so.1: broken symbolic link to `libclang-3.4.so.1'

The missing libclang.so also causes some programs depending on clang library not functioning well. An example is Vim's `clang_complete` plugin. It searches for libclang.so but not libclang.so.1. Also, if you write a simple C program and compile it with

$ gcc -lclang foo.c

It also doesn't work.
