Bug#770372: RFA: rc -- implementation of the AT&T Plan 9 shell



* Jakukyo Friel <weakish@gmail.com>, 2014-12-18, 00:27:
I'm wonder which approach is better?

- Integrate into rc.deb directly. (If it detects `vim` installed, copy the file to /usr/share/vim/addons/, etc)
- Make a separate vim plugin deb, and make rc.deb suggest it.

A separate package would be probably overkill.

But note that you should not detect if vim is installed, or enable the plugin automatically. See the Debian Packaging Policy for Vim for details:

https://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/x113.html

(vim maintainer told me to ignore the suggestion to install addons into /usr/share/vim/addons, but use a private directory, such as /usr/share/vim-rcshell instead.)
