Bug#623276: vim: manpage mentions exim as "Ex Improved"

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.035+hg~8fdc12103333-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

The vim manpage mentions the "exim" alias for vim :

       -E     Start Vim in improved Ex mode, just like the
              executable was called "exim".

I assume that it means Ex Improved, but this is a bit confusing given
that :

  - no such symlink exists
  - exim is a mail transfer agent

Thanks for maintaining vim !
