well, I was describing a "functionnal" way to fix the problem, that 
looked satisfying. as of how to do this, we cannot touch /etc/* files 
from debconf, it's "too hard".

but we could generate debian.vim from a template, with some sed magic 
e.g.

is there any vim variable that holds the command that launched vim ? 
(I'm rather confident there is one). if yes, then what we need is 
mostly:

if $command == vi AND user_wanted_compatible
  set cp
else
  " rest of the debian.vim
fi

of course user_wanted_compatible is a ##FORCE_COMPATIBLE## thing, that 
is sed-ed to true/false depending upon what the user wanted, from the 
debian.vim.template in the same directory.

(it's only an idea of implementation btw).
