Hi James

Thanks for your time and caring about this.

I downloaded your packages and performed a debdiff, where I found the 
following changed files (see list below). Now I don't understand, why all the 
upstream patch files and files under /debian where changed for the security 
update.
I suppose it has something to do with vim packaging, but there you are the 
expert. Could you quickly enlighten me? :)

Cheers
Steffen
