Thanks for information. Maybe I should try to explain my ideas to the
authors of vim-addons policy (which I consider to be as young as
vim-addons and also less-nice-than or kinda-different-from other Debian
policies), but I'm too busy to do so.

Hovewer, I still vote for some more visible notice of this status quo,
which should possibly be printed (or shown in a debconf OK-only dialog).
Maybe just a notice in README.Debian will satisfy Debian policies, but
having to read README.Debian to be able to use something as simple
as VO seems quite strange in the times of Etch & Lenny.

And even a debconf dialog asking the user whether to enable/install
VO can be considered conforming to vim-addons policy, as installing
after being asked to do so cannot be called "installing by default"
(unless it's the default action with the noninteractive debconf
frontend).
