I downloaded "Packages.bz2" from
"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian6.0.7/main/binary-amd64/";
and vim-common doesn't depend on vim-athena:
Package: vim-common
<snip>
Version: 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3)
Recommends: vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-lesstif | vim-nox | vim-tiny
<snip>
so "apt-cache show vim-common" cannot list vim-athena on the "Recommends:" line.
Do a test.
If "dpkg -l <package>" outputs "un...", does "grep <package>
/var/lib/apt/status" get a hit?
How about if "dpkg -l <package>" outputs "no packages found matching..."?
