  Description     : modern Vim plugin for editing LaTeX files

vimtex is a Vim plugin that provides support for writing LaTeX
documents. It is based on LaTeX-Box and it shares a similar goal: to
provide a simple and lightweight LaTeX plugin. It has been rewritten
from scratch to provide a more modern and modular code base.
.
See <https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/#alternatives> for some more
comments on the difference between vimtex and other LaTeX plugins
for Vim.



I think this package may be useful to enhance the user experience
when editing LaTeX documents with Vim. Especially since it also
extends the Vim syntax highlighting for LaTeX, adding support
for a number of LaTeX packages (such as amsmath, and so forth...).

I hope someone is willing to package and maintain it in Debian.
Thanks a lot to anyone volunteering to do so!
