NB, the quotes aren't necessary. "set mouse=" is how to unset the
'mouse' option. " is Vim's comment character.
Also, it's better to put your system config in /etc/vim/vimrc.local
(which is sourced by /etc/vim/vimrc) so you don't run into conffile
prompts if I change /etc/vim/vimrc.

Yeah, this is the same root cause as what's reported in #837793. I'm
still trying to think how best to solve that.
