Bug#868020: vim-nox: description needs clarifying regarding python support (-python +python3)

[Jonathan Dowland]

Package: vim-nox
Version: 2:8.0.0197-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The vim-nox package description reads (in part):

> This package contains a version of vim compiled with support for
> scripting with Lua, Perl, Python, Ruby, and Tcl but no GUI.

However, vim-nox is not compiled with Python (2.x) support:

> $ vim.nox --version | grep python
> +cryptv          +linebreak       -python          +vreplace
> +cscope          +lispindent      +python3         +wildignore

Thus, commands like the following will fail in  vimrc

> python from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup

The package description should probably read "Python 3" rather than "Python".
