Bug Description

When running vim for the first time, it says "do you want to enable the scvim add-on?" - because vim-addon-manager keeps it uninstalled until explicitly asked for. This is fine. But for the live user it would be better to have it already activated. This simply needs a hook which runs this line (for the live user):

    vim-addons install supercollider

can this be done system-wide for all users?

Because the live user is created at boot time, so user centric hooks are useless in the chroot.

Yes it can be done system-wide (vim-addons -w install supercollider) but I just tried an ISO with this hook in and it didn't seem to work because running "vim-addons -q" in the live environment doesn't detect it as installed.

So since this is not a showstopper I shall delicately place it into the long grass for now.

OK I've committed (bzr rev 307) a tweak so that the plugin is by default enabled - this is using skel rather than a hook. tested with live user as well as installed user, works fine
