Bug#401000: vim: Vim not handling .gz files anymore

[Peter Eckersley]

Hi James,

many thanks for trying so hard on this bug.  Hopefully if it doesn't occur
on sarge -> etch there won't be too many people bitten by it.

I found that removing the dpkg-diversion and reinstalling the vim packages
was not sufficient to fix the problem -- but with the additional step of
deleting /usr/bin/vim, it worked.
