Untfortunately I can't give you the verbose fix, since I don't seem to be
able to access the debian diff file.
But the fix is very easy - in /var/lib/dpkg/info/kvim.prerm (or
postrm?) there is a all for dpkg-divert. Change /usr/bin/vim.org to
/usr/bin/vim.old there and you should be set.
Norbert: btw. that's a blueprint for the fix actually. Check if the is
either /usr/bin/vim.org or /usr/bin/vim.old and divert accordingly:
if dpkg-divert --list kvim|grep org
$extensions='org'
fi
if dpkg-divert --list kvim|grep old
$extensions="$extensions old"
fi
for i in $extensions do
dpkg-divert --remove WHATEVER.$i
etc...
