It has a 'serious' bug that will prevent it from being released, as

Cool, although I'm still not sure on precisely what to do about the
help file situation... I guess something in the postinst script that
greps for the right lines in vimrc and offers to add them.

A lot of the unofficially orphaned packages have big long lists of
bugs, which often may have been fixed by new versions...
