Comment 6 for bug 578612

I see that with 'vim' package installed in Lucid Lynx doesn't have 'clipboard' and 'xterm_clipboard' enabled.

In my opinion it doesn't make sense because there's also 'vim-tiny'and 'vim-nox' for people that don't want clipboard (or other features) enabled. Maybe there's a strong argument against my opinion and I would comprehend, but maybe it would be wise enable clipboard support in the 'vim' package.

Below it goes some data for your appreciation.
