Hi,

I committed a change to the PG18 packaging that implements that split.
The new package is called postgresql-18-jit.

There is more work to do on each of the extension packages currently
depending on "postgresql-18-jit-llvm (= llvmversion)", that needs to be
converted to "Breaks: postgresql-18-jit-llvm (<< llvmversion)". (This
is also the reason the jit package is not called like that because the
version number there is not the PG version number.)

This will likely happen when extensions are moved to PG18 in
September.

I'm unsure if the split should be backported to PG 17 and earlier
since it will affect production systems in some way.

Christoph
