  the Good SOlution is to put in your .vimrc :

  au FileType c set nocindent nosmartindent noautoindent

  btw, I can assure you that /etc/ files have lower priority that your
personnal dotfiles.  the things that are felt like beeing bad priorities
are often bad commands with bad syntax, that are also ignored by vim

  So please check (for the guifont part) that your setting line is
correct (if you use kvim, changing the guifont with the gui will give
you a vimrc line you only have to copy/paste in your .vimrc, thus
preventing you to forgot some \ before a space e.g.)


  If those informations helps you, please close the bug by sending a
mail to  254835-done AT bugs.debian.org

  If you show no response, I'll do it myself.
