New Revision: 642

URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-vim/?sc=1&rev=642
Log:
Added NEWS entry for debian.vim.
Updated vimrc to use "runtime!" to ensure our debian.vim gets loaded even if there are other debian.vim files earlier in 'runtimepath'.

+  /etc/vim/vimrc (and gvimrc) no longer contain the default system-wide
+  settings for Vim.  They have been moved to $VIMRUNTIME/debian.vim in order
+  to ensure any changes we maintainers make are properly applied (such as
+  further modifications to the runtimepath option).
+
+  This frees up /etc/vim/vimrc (and gvimrc) for the sysadmin to make any
+  changes directly to that file instead of using vimrc.local as had previously
+  been suggested.  The only line which need be maintained is "runtime!
+  debian.vim" as that is what sources the pacakge's system-wide settings.
+
+  It is highly recommended that the new vimrc and gvimrc files are accepted or
+  carefully merged with the existing files since not doing so will very
+  likely cause Vim not to operate correctly.
