Why does it need llvm-16-dev in addition to llvm-dev? In current
debian, the latter is llvm-14-dev, but I suppose that should just as
well for lcov, or does it not work?
Also, I'm curious on why it installs a bunch of mingw32 packages ... is
that a leftover from making it produce results for mingw32 also, or is
it actually needed for the current script? (I don't see any usage of
that elsewhere in the script, hence the question). I see a bunch of
other unrelated things, such as docbook, fop etc (ultimately installing
the full java toolchain) ...
