I agree see should not be view, but I'd meant this particular bug to be
among the actual vi's -- ie. to be sure of getting vim and not say nvi.


(I've thought further that there's probably no need for the generic "vi"
rules presently in /usr/lib/mime/packages/vim-common.  If each vi
flavour has rules then all are covered.  Or if the rule is present then
it ought to check that a vi exists, and perhaps ought to be in
mime-support package so as not to depend on vim-common in case you've
removed it in favour of nvi etc.)
