  Yes, IIRC a vanilla Edgy install would carry vim-tiny instead of
  vim-full (or any of the other vim-variants.)

  The update-alternatives shouldn't really be necessary IIRC since
  update-alternatives is run after vim-full (thanks to common runtime
  code in the vim-variant helpers; see vim-7.0/debian/rules for the full
  story.)
