Such a package would be of little use since by default, these utilities are not POSIX-compliant.

Debian does not have a POSIX-compliant vi, since none of the implementations have open mode. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
