Hello,

Some comments from me.

Pre-dependency may be a source of troubles. Plain dependency should be
sufficient. See bugs.debian.org/237704 for details.

See above.
Additionaly, internal vim command :helptags should be disabled. It could
lead to problems like bugs.debian.org/294170.

There was eons ago when we last discussed vim packaging policy :) I remem=
ber
some voices saying that it should be vim-packagename-addon to avoid
confusion with vim compiled with additional script language like: vim-pyt=
hon,
vim-perl, vim-ruby, etc...

I do not like this. General rules from Debian Policy should apply.
File from any package could be safely diverted or altered by file with th=
e
same name from another package _only_ in case when both give _the same_
functionality. AFAIR Debian Policy requires that both maintainers agree
about divert/alternative.
