Bug#365040: vim should update the vi alternative to use vim rather than nvi

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-007+1
Severity: minor

Well, vim is not in the base-installation, thats ok and I can understand
it. But if the user _has_ to install vim manually he certainly wants to
use it as his default vi, so the vim package should set the vi
alternative to vim.
