What do the POSIX standards say, having a vi named package, or binary?
I think its the second.
Vim in  testing has no X capabilities and only the perl interpeted enabled.
Still perl is only an optional dependency.
What if perl was an actual dependency. Its already in base. I dare not
to imagine
a system not having perl installed.
Anyway i dont know if my suggestion actually works as i imagine.
