I believe it addresses. /bin/vi will not require /usr to be mounted. Say we
have something like /bin/vi.minimal, /usr/bin/vim.enhanced and
/usr/bin/vim.x11. And /bin/launchvim with all those vis, vims, vimdiffs and
whatever symlinked to it. Then it would launch the most featureful version
available at the moment.
Seems like noone is flaming me, so I'll flame myself. It is a nonsense. This
is certainly not how things should be done. It's better than alternatives
because of that /usr issue. But otherwise it's just an ugly bullshit.
It is better than the current approach, though (imho).

Fire up 'gvim -v' in an xterm. Try to select something. Ouch, it moves the
cursor. Fine, do the same while holding the Shift key. Works like normal xterm
selection. Cool.

Ok, you win, I lose.
So I guess the vim-X11 package needs this:
for cmd in ex rvi rview vi view rvim vim vimdiff; do
echo "alias $cmd = gvim -whatever" >>/etc/profile.d/vim-X11.sh
done
(i know this is never gonna happen, just like i'll never set these aliases and
will use those symlinks and/or debian instead :/)
