Setting up vim (6.4-006+2) ...
rmdir: /usr/share/doc/vim: Directory not empty

Here's what I've got in /usr/share/doc/vim:

$ ls -al /usr/share/doc/vim

dpkg: *usr/share/doc/vim/* not found.

Apparently these files got orphaned by a previous version of Vim, but were
never cleaned up.

I've been running unstable steadily for a long time, so it was probably one
of the revisions of Vim formerly in unstable.
