Note especially:

  * The new vim-minimal package provides /usr/bin/ex and /usr/bin/vi, is
  compiled with the "small" feature set, and DOES NOT DEPEND ON
  vim-common.

So vi complains about extended vim features in ~/.vimrc.  The workaround
is to have a shell alias vi->vim or a matching symlink in a bin directory
preceeding /usr/bin in $PATH.
