The ones remember noticing were the vim postinst and the vim-tiny
prerm.  But really the right answer is, I think, to remove all of
these tests unless you know them to be right, and they're very common
so probably grepping for them is the right answer.

I'm afraid I probably don't have time to do that any time soon ...
