Bug#299837: vim can't find its help files

Package: vim-common
Version _1%3a6.3-058+1_all

If I type :help I get a message that
/usr/share/vim/vim63/doc/help.txt.gz can't be found.  That's true,
because what exists is /usr/share/vim/vim63/doc/help.txt.
So what's wrong is that vim is looking for a compressed file (.gz)
while what exists in not compressed.  This problem happened after I
downloaded a new version of vim using apt-get.
