I like this approach. An open issue is how to implement it. More
precisely, what will be the effect of the debconf choice? At the moment
the 'vi'/'vim' split is hard coded in a patch which is compiled in.

Are you thinking about making /etc/vim/virc source either
/usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/debian-vi.vim or to debian-vim.vim or
something similar?

Cheers.
