The general change was, but not the specific details on how to adapt to
the change:
* Refactor packaging to use dh-vim-addon instead of vim-addon-manager
+ Add Build-Depends on dh-vim-addon
+ Remove vim/vim-addon-manager Recommends. Replaced by Depends on
${vim-addon:Depends}
+ Install each plugin in its own sub-directory of /usr/share/vim-scripts
