Bug#386729: /etc/vim/vimrc is no longer used

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-035+1

$ strace -e trace=file -o foo vi debian/changelog 
$ grep /etc.*vim foo
stat64("/etc/vim/vimrc.local", 0xbfa9fe80) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/vim/vimrc.local", O_RDONLY)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It's rather disconcerting to be editing vimrc to turn off

THE FUCKING ANNOYING AUTOMATIC FOLDING APPLIED TO DEBIAN CHANGELOG FILES

and find that it doesn't work.  Not that it works if you put

set foldmethod=marker

in .vimrc either.  But it works great if you type :set foldmethod=marker
once you've been exposed to all the crappy foldedness in the file.
