Would you consider nvi as an alternative to vim-tiny? It is quite small
and is functional enough to edit the occasional config file when
necessary.
A user who does a lot of editing will probably install a better editor
than {vim-tiny,nvi} anyways. And it would minimise disruption to people
who expect some form of vi to be installed on the system.
