You're right, this is indeed a problem. The solution I propose is articulated in (50% RFC from you, 50% TODO list for we vim maintainers): - inhibit installation of upstream gvim -> vim symlink - change all the other symlinks installed by vim-gui-common (evim, gvimdiff, gview, ...) so that they point to gvim instead of vim - for all GUI enabled variants install an explicit alternative gvim -> vim.variant What do you (all) think? -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!-
