I think I just put the right code in the wrong place. Could you please
check:

1) if /var/lib/dpkg/info/vim-gnome.postrm contains something like:

  remove_old_diversion() {
    if [ -f /usr/bin/vim.org ]; then
      dpkg-divert --package $pkg --remove --rename \
                --divert /usr/bin/vim.org /usr/bin/vim
    fi
  }

2) if executing:

    if [ -f /usr/bin/vim.org ]; then
      dpkg-divert --package $pkg --remove --rename \
                --divert /usr/bin/vim.org /usr/bin/vim
    fi

  properly remove the diversion?

If it fixes the problem I just need to move the "remove_old_diversion"
stuff in the postinst script instead of the postrm one. Don't know why I
put it there ... mumble mumble.

Thanks for your report.
Cheers.
