Package: vim-latexsuite
Version: 20091002-2
Severity: important

By default, vim-latexsuite does not load. There are at least three ways
to fix this:

1. add /usr/share/vim/addons/ path to runtimeptah in
   /usr/share/vim/vim72/debian.vim

2. install vim-latex in one of paths specified in said variable in said
   file

3. perhaps the best - run vim-addons [-w] install latex-suite

The last one is mentioned in
/usr/share/doc/vim-latexsuite/README.Debian, but this file is unknown to
most of users until they... decide to file a bug report against
vim-latexsuite.

I think that pakcage manager is supposed to install packages and bring
them to usable state. But this does not happen in vim-latexsuite's case.

I think that after installation of vim-latexsuite there should be run
program that:

A. runs vim-addons -w install latex-suite
   which may be unwanted by defaults, as vim-latexsuite does not depends
        on vim-addon-manager (and should in that case)

B. informs user that vim-latexsuite is not enabled by default (but
   installed properly) and tells what steps need to be taken to enable
        it

Without them, most of the users are confused about what is happening -
installed program does not work.
