This seems overly complicated if you ask me. Management of scripts in your home dir should be up to you (or some script), but system-wide stuff should install system-wide. I really hate the Debian idea of needing N steps to install software, instead of just 1 step.
If you ask me, a script that will manually download and install scripts from vim.org to your home dir is FAR superior to requiring additional steps beyond simply installing a package
Big +1 on this from me. KISS
Sure, but KISS in what respect and for whom?
KISS is a design principle which applies to software development. Simplicity refers to the design of your software solution, not to its usage by an user (that is user friendliness).
