Ok.. it appears that this package hasn't been changed at all since Gutsy. Is no one maintaining it? Is the upstream project dead? There also appears to be no orig tarball or diff file with the source packages, so it appears that the upstream project created the debian folder.
I've attached a simple diff which does nothing but add a package revision to the changelog and change the dependency from vim-full to vim-gnome.
