I fully agree with Garnet. Vim's current package nomenclature is
counter-intuitive, counter-productive, and arguably constitutes a bug.
While there do exist use cases for a headless Ubuntu, I'd contend that
those are largely edge use cases. For Ubuntu and like-minded GUI-centric
Linux distros

Title:
By default, Ubuntu installs the vim-tiny package, which is a ultra-light
version of the console vim only.

console Vim. I'm much more comfortable like that.
The bug is valid and annoying.

Or wait, do you mean vim-gtk and vim-gnome also contain proper console
versions? If so, it makes sense then, but still, judging from

I think this bug is invalid.
Actually you can use either the vim-gtk or vim-gnome packages which are

Vim on Ubuntu is compiled without clipboard and xterm_clipboard

Temporary solution.
I just removed vim package and compiled vim myself. I used the following
configure command to get +clipboard and +xterm_clipboard:
./configure --with-features=big --enable-cscope --enable-gui=gtk2
