Thanks! I agree that things which have been moved into the source can be removed from debian.vim. > Apart from this issue in particular, though, I feel that `debian.vim`'s role > should be revised.

The problem with defaults.vim is that it is only sourced if a user doesn't have a vimrc, so the "defaults" are inconsistent. I'd rather keep the behavior stable, so only removing things from debian.vim if they've been superceded by real defaults.
