That's great!

Actualls that's because there are no bug reports in BTS. As this package
is very simple, there seem to be no problems at all so far. :)

But there is one bug report for Ubuntu: [0]

It's actually a problem with vim-addon-manager, that is already fixed in
newer versions: [1]

James suggests there, that we could use dh-vim-addon for packaging and
drop our maintainer scripts. That would be a nice cleanup of the package.

It probably is a good idea to get in touch with him and with the vim
packaging team. [2]

That way you can get a lot of good advice, get to know more people and
if you want to, you can get more involved with packaging vim packages.

Yours
  David
