Package: vim-ctrlp
Version: 1.80-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider moving vim from Depends to Enhances.
I'd like to use vim-ctrlp with neovim (without having to also install
vim).
Rather than adding neovim as an alternative to vim, I'd suggest
using the 'Enhances' field which should be the proper relationship
vim-ctrlp has with vim.
Also note that vim-ctrlp already Recommends vim-addon-manager which
in turn Recommends vim, so normal installs would still pull in
vim anyway.
Patch attached for your convenience.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
