No, you misread me.

vimtutor is a shell script, so the point of the poster on debian-devel
who suggested me the move was that it should belong to an Arch:all
package. At the time it was in vim-common which is _not_ Arch:all thus I
moved it to vim-runtime which _is_ Arch:all.

I forget to move its manpage which of course should follow the
executable.

Same reasoning could apply to xxd of course.

That's a good point. But one can argue that if you don't have
vim-runtime it's because you only want a minimal installation of vim.
Reasonably then you wont need vimtutor (even because it won't work
without vim-runtime) nor xxd.

Cheers.
