I'm noticing only now a big bug in vim's debian/control. All
Replaces/Recommends/... versioned dependencies are against the
non-epoched versions (i.e. in the example above it should be
"1:6.4-004+2", instead of "6.4-004+2")!!!

This is the cause of the missed Replaces.

We should fix it and upload soon.

Cheers.
