Did you also, or are you planning to, report bugs against all packages that currently rely on vim-addon-manager? e.g. $ apt-file search /usr/share/vim/registry/ apparmor-utils: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-apparmor.yaml asymptote: /usr/share/vim/registry/asymptote.yaml biosyntax-vim: /usr/share/vim/registry/biosyntax-vim.yaml cernlib-base: /usr/share/vim/registry/cernlib-base.yaml clustershell: /usr/share/vim/registry/clustershell.yaml coccinelle: /usr/share/vim/registry/coccinelle.yaml crmsh: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-pcmk.yaml di-netboot-assistant: /usr/share/vim/registry/disources.yaml espeak-ng-data: /usr/share/vim/registry/espeak.yaml global: /usr/share/vim/registry/global.yaml gtypist: /usr/share/vim/registry/gtypist.yaml halibut: /usr/share/vim/registry/halibut.yaml mpop: /usr/share/vim/registry/mpop.yaml msmtp: /usr/share/vim/registry/msmtp.yaml nescc: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-syntax-nesc.yaml nginx-common: /usr/share/vim/registry/nginx.yaml notmuch-vim: /usr/share/vim/registry/notmuch.yaml ocaml-tools: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-omlet.yaml powerline: /usr/share/vim/registry/powerline.yaml python-mako-doc: /usr/share/vim/registry/mako.yaml python3-jinja2: /usr/share/vim/registry/jinja.yaml ragel: /usr/share/vim/registry/ragel.yaml sisu: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-sisu.yaml survex: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-survex.yaml systemtap-common: /usr/share/vim/registry/systemtap.yaml tpp: /usr/share/vim/registry/tpp.yaml vifm: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-vifm.yaml vim-addon-mw-utils: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-addon-mw-utils.yaml vim-airline: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-airline.yaml vim-airline-themes: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-airline-themes.yaml vim-autopep8: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-autopep8.yaml vim-bitbake: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-bitbake.yaml vim-command-t: /usr/share/vim/registry/command-t.yaml vim-ctrlp: /usr/share/vim/registry/ctrlp.yaml vim-editorconfig: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-editorconfig.yaml vim-fugitive: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-fugitive.yaml vim-haproxy: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-haproxy.yaml vim-julia: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-julia.yaml vim-khuno: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-khuno.yaml vim-lastplace: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-lastplace.yaml vim-latexsuite: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-latexsuite.yaml vim-migemo: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-migemo.yaml vim-pathogen: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-pathogen.yaml vim-python-jedi: /usr/share/vim/registry/python-jedi.yaml vim-rails: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-rails.yaml vim-snipmate: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-snipmate.yaml vim-snippets: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-snippets.yaml vim-syntastic: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-syntastic.yaml vim-syntax-gtk: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-syntax-gtk.yaml vim-tabular: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-tabular.yaml vim-textobj-user: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-textobj-user.yaml vim-tjp: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-tjp.yaml vim-tlib: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-tlib.yaml vim-ultisnips: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-ultisnips.yaml vim-vimerl: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-vimerl.yaml vim-vimerl-syntax: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-vimerl-syntax.yaml vim-youcompleteme: /usr/share/vim/registry/vim-youcompleteme.yaml
