   * vim-tiny (minimal version of vim, see #222138)
 
-    - idea: a minimal version of vim with almost no runtime and as few
-      features compiled in as possible to avoid packages size bloating
+    TODO:
+    - alternatives for vi/view/ex, they have disappeared, but used to be
+      in vim.postinst
+    - fake help file when only vim-tiny is installed
+    - better description(s) in debian/control
+    - debian/NEWS describing both vim-tiny and the new non-conflicting
+      nature of vim variants
 
-    - problem: vim-tiny need some symlinks, configuration files and
-      executables contained in the vim package (i.e. it should depend on
-      it), but doesn't want to depend on the runtime files, that is
-      vim-common
-
-    - proposal:
-      + move all the /usr/share/vim/* stuff (ATM that is all the content
-	of the package, but see below) from the current "vim-common"
-	package to a new "vim-runtime" package
-      + move stuff common to different variants from the "vim" package
-	to the "vim-common" package (hence the name :-), that is
-	roughly: manpages, symlinks like {view,vimdiff,rvim} -> vim,
-	conffile, pixmaps, ... Basically the package should in the end
-	contain only the executable /usr/bin/vim.basic (like other
-	variants do)
-      + make all variants packages ("vim", "vim-XXX") depend on both
-	"vim-common" (as they already do) and "vim-runtime"
-      + create a "vim-tiny" package which provides a binary
-	/usr/bin/vim.tiny with the lowest priority alternative for
-	/usr/bin/vim and make it depend on "vim-common" but not on
-	"vim-runtime". Proposal for configuration flags for vim-tiny:
-	    ./configure \
-	      --with-features=tiny \
-	      --disable-gui \
-	      --disable-xsmp \
-	      --disable-xsmp-interact \
-	      --disable-netbeans \
-	      --disable-acl \
-	      --disable-gpm \
-	      --disable-nls
-
-    - open issues:
-      + add to vim-tiny configuration options flags for features
-	one-can-t-live-without (e.g. tab-completion on ex cmdline)
-      + in the proposal above vim-tiny would have no runtime files at
-        all. From some quick tests that works, but we can consider
-	adding runtime parts one-can-t-live-without. In that case they
-	should be installed in /usr/share/vim/vimXX-tiny and that path
-	could be added at the end of the 'runtimepath' specified in
-	/etc/vim/vimrc. In that way we can provide stripped versions of
-	the runtime files if needed and once people install
-	"vim-runtime" they would have a full runtime even if using
-	"vim-tiny"
