Package: vim
Version: 6.3-058

When using the default /etc/vim/vimrc, cutting and pasting into an xterm
running vim looks like this:

# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)
        #
                # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X 
Configuration tool,
                        # using
                                # values from the debconf database.

But, after stealing the vimrc file from a Fedora system, cut and paste
now works properly:

# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool,
# using
# values from the debconf database.

I'm not sure what the difference is, but I've included the vimrc that
works for me.
