No, permissions for /etc/vim/vimrc.local are 644.
The problem is (had to use strace to figure this one out) that on vim
start /etc/vim/vimrc.local is read first, and
/usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim after it.
Therefore any customizations put into /etc/vim/vimrc.local can be
overridden by defaults.vim, which is happpening for 'mouse' and
'incsearch' at least.
Unless you forbid vim to interpret defaults.vim at all.
It can be achieved by creating user's .vimrc, or 'g:skip_defaults_vim=1'.
