That's not true on my up-to-date Debian system, running sid/unstable.
The current release, 6.0.011-2 (which corresponds to upstream vim
6.0.11), is compiled with multi_byte disabled. The alpha and beta
packages had it enabled, and I hereby put in my vote for it to be
re-enabled. Wichert, a number of us think UTF-8 support is essential to
the system of the future. If you want a minimalist version of vim
without UTF-8, reintroduce vim-tiny.
