+  The autoindent option is no longer enabled by default because:
+  - 'autoindent' is rather naïve and turning on filetype-specific indentation
+    (via "filetype indent on") is usually a better choice.
+  - not having any automatic indenting enabled by default prevents new users
+    from encountering the bad indentation issue when pasting text.
+
+  Filetype plugins are no longer enabled by default because certain actions
+  (like preventing the loading of the default menus) *must* occur before
+  filetype detection is enabled.  By enabling filetype plugins (and detection)
+  in debian.vim, we are preventing the user from being able to make changes to
+  Vim's behavior.
