Comment 1 for bug 58002

After furter reflection, meditation, source package examination and finally experimentation, I see the cause of the problem. The first file I edit, without exception, on a new system is my sources.list. So of course I say `sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list`. Since I'm using sudo, the .vimrc file is created as root, and since $HOME is preserved when I use sudo with no options, it's created in my home directory. The simplest solution is probably an empty /etc/skel entry for .vimrc?
