The comment about POSIX compliance is certainly mistaken, since POSIX
specifies normal behaviour of the system rather than what happens in a
recovery environment when /usr is missing; vi is also in the User
Portability Utilities extension rather than part of core POSIX. That
said, I do have some sympathy with the wish that it should be available
as a recovery tool. There's no need for it to be statically linked - all
the libraries it uses are already in /.
The alternatives system that manages /usr/bin/vi is a bit delicate,
though, so I think the best approach here is for me to forward this
report to the Debian maintainers.
