Dear Vim maintainers team!

Thanks for maintaining Vim in Debian, and especially for the no-GUI
variants. They are much appreciated especially on headless environments.

Now, apparently vim and vim-nox (in bullseye) pull in libcanberra, and
transitively sound-theme-freedesktop and Vorbis decoders and libasound2.
I'm mildly concerned about the disk space requirements of these and a
bit more about the need for updating these for "security reasons", which
probably never really apply in a headless environment, because there
will never be any sound.

I have not tried passing --disable-canberra to Vims ./configure yet, but
please consider building vim and vim-nox without sound support.

Many thanks,
Chris
