I forgot to include vim-lesstif in here.  Do we want to continue to
provide that package modulo the above suggestion of including all
language bindings with it?  According to popcon, it's the least
popular[0] binary package we generate from the Vim source package, far
behind the next least popular[1].

OT, perusing popcon for vim packages showed me that 3 people still have
vim-rt installed -- a package that doesn't even show up in our svn repo
or snapshot.debian.net.  :)
