Bug#447964: Vim doesn't start ("command not found")

Package: Vim
Version: 1:7.1-138+1

When I try to lauch Vim from shell, I obtain: "Command not found"
and the program doesn't starts.
=========================================
samiel at debian:~$ vim
bash: vim: command not found
=========================================
Vim starts only if I write "vim.basic".
Moreover, I installed a lot of related packages (vim-addon-manager,
vim-doc, vim-full, vim-gnome, vim-gtk, vim-gui-common).
Now it's possible to start Vim even by the command: "vim-gnome",
but still not by "vim". Gvim too doesn't start from the KDE menu.
I realized that all the executable (vi, vim etc.) in /usr/bin (which are only
symbolic links) are orphan, and /ect/alternatives is empty.

I'm using Debian Sid daily updated, with kernel 2.6.23 compiled by myself.

Thanx
MAuro Sacchetto
