It seems that vimpart is only in stable, but not in testing or unstable:

$ apt-cache policy vimpart
vimpart:
  Installed: 4:3.4.3-1
  Candidate: 4:3.4.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 4:3.4.3-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4:3.3.2-4 0
        500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org stable/main Packages

Truth be told, I don't recall how it ended up being installed on my
system, but it looks like it used to be a dependency of kde-addons in
KDE 3.3. The package description sounds like it is indeed responsible
for making the embedding work:

Description: embedded Vim text editor component for KDE
 This package allows the text editor Vim to be embedded into a number of
 different KDE applications.  It does this by encapsulating Vim within a
 KPart (an embedded KDE component).
