There was no offense intended. Incompatible changes happen. I just said
that to justify my guess about the reason for Jan's problem. Sorry.

And I probably read the changelog in aptitude before updating, but
didn't really notice the filetypes change to be important for me (and
wouldn't have when reading the NEWS entry either).

So I already had vim running, did the upgrade and only noticed the
problem a few of hours (days?) later, when I started a new vim process.
At that point I had long forgotten about the changes.

I should have read the changelog again at _that_time_, and not trusted
the vimrc comments, but unfortunately apt-listchanges doesn't
automatically start when the user is confused, so that wouldn't have
helped ;-)

Thanks.
