Ahh, thanks for digging, Christian.  Given this appears to break
horribly in all chroot scenarios (not just containers), I'm inclined to
just remove that bit from the defaults file.  Also of note, the shiny
new defaults thing has syntax:on, so I can remove that from our Debian
delta.  Yay.  Will prepare an upload fixing this and some other bits
shortly.

Title:
  TERM=xterm enables mouse mode in vi, breaks pasting with middle mouse

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in vim source package in Zesty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I quite often have the following work flow:

  a.) lxc launch ubuntu-daily:zesty z1
  b.) lxc exec z1 /bin/bash
  c.) % vi foo.txt
  d.) paste some thing from my X buffer (hit middle mouse button).

  Somewhere between yakkety (2:7.4.1829-1ubuntu2.1) and zesty
  (2:8.0.0095-1ubuntu2) this behavior changed.

  Previously this all worked fine.

  Now, in zesty, however an attempt to paste results in a vi error message:
   E353: Nothing in register "

  to fix this, you can first disable the mouse 'a' [1]

   : set mouse-=a

  
  I'm not sure what is enabling this, because /usr/share/vim/vimrc has the line
  set mouse=a commented out.
