Default Debian setup doesn't install vim , but vim-tiny and/or
vim-common if I am not wrong. So you need to apt-get install vim.
After that check /etc/vim/vimrc and uncomment proper lines, to get
syntax highlighting and file type detection started. This is a system
wide config.
Or you can edit ~/.vimrc for your own customized vim settings.
