There's no need to disable defaults.vim. As I have also suggested (in this very bug report), you can explicitly load defaults.vim and then disable whatever settings you don't like. Changing this behavior _just_ for Debian will only add to the confusion, since users will now get different behavior on different systems. Upstream needs to be convinced that this is a problem, so it can be addressed there. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
