I keep contemplating packaging ex-vi and advocating to replace vim-tiny
with that.  After all, the intent is to have something providing
/usr/bin/vi, as one expects to have on a *nix system, so why not have it
actually be vi?

Then I could drop all the annoying packaging we had to add (and I have
to maintain) to the vim packages, although it did help find some corner
cases in handling of diversions, and stop getting annoyed at people
complaining about vim-tiny.

Then install vim (or one of the other more featured binary packages)
when you uninstall vim-tiny & nano.  Just because the package is
included as part of the install doesn't mean you have to use it.  I'm
sure there are plenty of people that remove vim-tiny and install some
other non-vi(m) editor too.
