I thought "elvis" was the standard one (which was why I put it on the
required list when asked). <sigh> There's too many "vi" packages.
Everybody should use emacs! <grin>
I'll put "nvi" on the required list, too.

It's important because it is extremely easy to fix.

The bug was posted publicly about 4 weeks ago or such. It's a shame that
the actual bugs were not filed until so late, but the information was sent
to everyone.

Please just upload a version with the md5sums fixed.
