I just don't see what having a separate package *just* for that gains you,
especially with the complicated lengths suggested in this thread to
maintain it? (alternatives is never the answer...)
I do not know, whether or not seperating vim-X11 and vim-enhanced is worth it.
This is only what is currently the case. All I want to achive is that
the /usr/bin/gvim binary from vim-X11 will have symlinks with the names
{vim,vimdiff,ex,view,rview,rvim,vimtutor} in /usr/bin. So now there are three
ways to do it:
1) use Conflicts
2) use alternatives
3) use the binary from vim-X11 in vim-enhanced instead
Is there an easy way to compare the amount of packages that need to be
installed for vim-X11 but do not need to be installed for vim-enhanced?
