Agreed, I vote for Section: doc.

vim-rt is an ages-old name for vim-runtime. Since that package does not
exists in sarge anylonger we can safely remove it. Please go ahead.

I remember I implemented that change in the past, before vim-gui-common
existed, but either I never committed it or it get lost during some
change ... Another way to say that I agree :-)
I'm assuming that with "all of the vim variants" you mean "|"-separated
list of them.

BTW, I don't know how aptitude threat the order in the Recommend field.
It if care about it, I would go for the same order we use in the
alternatives priority (i.e. more featureful versions of vim later).

problem?

Thanks,
Cheers.
