Bug#507407: vim-common: /usr/share/vim/addons no longer in runtimepath

Package: vim-common
Version: 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2
Severity: important


The runtimepath specified by debian.vim, part of vim-common, no longer
includes /usr/share/vim/addons; on a default install (i.e., where the
user doesn't explicitly add this directory) this breaks a number of
related packages which install files to that tree; from a quick inspection
of Contents-i386.gz, this appears to include at least
  vim-latexsuite
  ocaml-tools
  bicycle-repair
  sisu
  vim-vimoutliner
  gramadoir
  editmoin
  vifm
  asciidoc

The change to debian.vim is not noted in the Debian changelog,
so I take it this is an inadvertent change.

I've not marked this bug as critical, because all of these packages
declare a depndency on vim-common (or at least, they should)
and so are not "unrelated"; however if this situation is not resolved
for lenny then it looks like it would represent an RC bug in many, 
if not most, of the affected packages.
