Package: vim-common
Version: 1:7.1.293-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.4

Vim-tiny is currently not installable since it conflicts with vim-common:

| aptsh> install vim-tiny

| The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

|  trying to overwrite `/etc/vim/vimrc.tiny', which is also in package vim-common
| Errors were encountered while processing:
|  /var/cache/apt/archives/vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'd think /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny should be in vim-tiny only...
