It's not a good idea to put that at the end of your vimrc, since it will
change lots of other options.  Both
/usr/share/vim/vim81/{debian.vim,defaults.vim} already set that.

Also, the existence of a vimrc will enable 'nocompatible', so that would
imply something else was setting 'compatible'.

If that's the case, ":verbose set cp?" should show what was doing that.

Cheers,
James
