Ah, I remembered the other item.  We currently ship a single
gvim.desktop file and menu file in vim-gui-common.  This causes menu
items to be present for non-existant executables if vim-gui-common is
installed but a gui variant isn't installed.

Lintian had been warning about this for a while, but I kept ignoring it
because I thought it was a buggy check.  Should we change the packaging
to ship a different .desktop and menu file for each gui variant?  The
menu entries could then indicate which variant it is and would make it
easier for the end user to choose which variant they want to use if
multiple are installed.
