install vim without gpm support included, and there are more.

Maybe I should expanded a bit, this is what you get for writing in a hurry:

Don't get me wrong, I use both, Gentoo and Debian, on various machines.

pentium-builder can already do this, no need for new development, and with 
combination of apt-get source it is quite easy.

I just don't understand the need for that new project, it can already be done 
without a problem, for those who want it. This was no attepmt to slam debian 
or praise gentoo. Pooling developer resources for this seems a waste 
specially when both Gento and Debian need man power in other projects (like 
DDTP or debian installer).
