May I suggest the following cosmetic changes?
Title:
Reorganization of Vim packages
Body:
The Vim suite of packages has been reorganized to better provide advanced features in the standard vim package, and to split the CLI and GUI versions; the new packages are:
- vim-minimal: identical to the current vim package - vim: now includes all the features from gvim, but without GTK/X support - vim-python3: same as gvim-python3, but without GTK/X support - gvim: same as before - gvim-python3: same as before

The description probably should be changed to "identical to the previous vim package"
Other than that, I like all of your suggestions.

to avoid confusion, maybe you should add the vim-runtime is the same as before?
- vim-runtime: untouched

Sounds good to me. This is nice since those who have vim installed will simply get a "better" vim. Finally I can get rid of gvim!

I am going to paste the current version since it seems to be somewhat of a consensus:
If there are no more bugs that show up related to this package, I will post a news item and move vim tomorrow.
