Bug#654674: vim-tiny incompatible with vim-common's mailcap

Package: vim-common
Version: 2:7.3.363-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/lib/mime/packages/vim-common

After installing vim-tiny,

    $ compose /tmp/tmp.c
    sh: 1: vim: not found
    Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #127

This is because vim-tiny provides "vi" but not "vim", and vim-common
claims the latter can edit text/* files.

I think either vim-tiny should provide an alternative for
/usr/bin/vim, or the mailcap should refer to vi instead of vim.
