Bug#864074: Ist there a way to get a change of this setting considered?

[Ralph Aichinger]

I think this is an especially unwisely chosen default, as others
have written, it is not a problem for actual personal user accounts,
but for root accounts on yet unconfigured Debian boxes.

Would it be possible to ship an empty .vimrc for root and the first
account created during setup, e.g. by inserting an empty .vimrc into
/etc/skel?

Even in situations where Boxes are hooked up to Ansible or another
configuration management system, vim is the one software I need to
work right away without annoying me ;)

Thanks for considering,
