I don't know that adding that 340k to the installed size of base or the
corresponding 188k to the size of the debs would be too much[1], but the
gain of going from vim-tiny to vim(minus -runtim) seems more marginal to
me.

[1] It's hard to say for sure since the i386 netinst CD is already too
    big for some installation methods and we haven't figured out if
    we're going to trim it back down, or drop it.
