Package: vim-tiny
Version: 2:8.0.0003-1+b1
Severity: normal
The postinst of vim-tiny uses the same priority 10 as e3vi
from the e3 package, which results in e3vi providing vi
instead of vim-tiny.
The vim-tiny binary is 100 times (sic) bigger than e3,
and should accordingly also provides more features than e3.
Please increase the priority to 11 or higher.

Only if e3vi is installed before vim-tiny. When there are alternatives
at the same priority, the one that already existed is preserved.
Since vim-tiny is installed by default, e3vi shouldn't take precedence.

Alternatives are there so the user can control which they
want to use. I'm not going to play priority games.
