Yes -- just remove all your autocommands for handling gzip or bzip
files. As of version 6, vim now knows how to do that on its own. (I
think it is a "plugin", actually, but all the same you don't need to
do anything for editing gzipped files to work).
BTW, it looks like you got that snippet of code from the system-wide
vimrc from the old debian packages. That piece of code isn't in the
new package because it isn't needed any more (and no longer works in
all cases, as you've noticed).
