Bug#337332: vim.list unpacks two wrong links (which update-alternatives then corrects)

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-071+1
Severity: normal


Two symlinks in vim.list should be deleted:
srwxrwxrwx    root/root          0 ./usr/share/man/man1/ex.1.gz --> vim.1.gz
srwxrwxrwx    root/root          0 ./usr/share/man/man1/view.1.gz --> vim.1.gz

As soon as dpkg has unpacked these links, dpkg calls vim.postinst, where
these links are changed with update-alternatives.

It looks like a bug to include them in vim.list.
