:help autocmd

:help paste

Get Vim 6, currently in beta stage. It has automatic indenting for all
sorts of languages via plugin scripts (previously only C was explicitly
supported).

Thanks to Wichert:

deb http://people.debian.org/~wakkerma/vim ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~wakkerma/vim ./

An apt-get upgrade will get you the newest beta.
