Bug Description
There is no indication of what is included in this package.
=== Here is the current description:
Description: plugins for vim, adding bells and whistles
Vim is a very capable editor. Its scripting support allows the use of plugins that enhance the functionality of it. Many people have written scripts, they are scattered all over the web; however, there's a central resource on http://
This is a collection of some of those scripts on a purely subjective and biased basis. Users can thus have some nice scripts without having to go searching. The scripts can be installed globally or on a per user basis.
=== Here is my proposed addition to the description:
Filetype Plugins
* po.vim - Easier editing of PO multi-lingual translation files
* xml.vim - Helper for editing XML, HTML, and SGML documents
Games
* VimSokoban_
* tetris.vim - Tetris for Vim
General Plugins
* Align.vim - Provides commands to help produce aligned text, eqns, declarations
* EnhancedComment
* a.vim - Alternate Files quickly (.c --> .h etc)
* bufexplorer.vim - Easily switch between buffers without knowing their numbers
* calendar.vim - Calendar
* cvscommand.vim - CVS integration plugin
* cvsmenu.vim - CVS menu supporting most CVS commands
* gnupg.vim - Transparent editing of gpg encrypted files
* info.vim - GNU info documentation browser
* minibufexpl.vim - Elegant buffer explorer - takes very little screen space
* svncommand.vim - Subversion (svn) integration plugin
* taglist.vim - Source code browser (supports dozens of langauges)
* themes.vim - All the color schemes on vim.sf.net, with menu
* utl.vim - Univeral Text Linking - Execute URLs in plain text
* vimspell.vim - ispell or aspell based spell checker with fly-spelling
* whatdomain.vim - Find out the meaning of any Top Level Domain
* winmanager.vim - A windows style IDE for Vim 6.0
Syntax Files
* CVSAnnotate.vim - Syntax highlighting for cvscommand.vim buffers
==============
Also, the package should recommend or suggest ctags, as taglist.vim is useless without it. Likewise for vimspell.vim needing ispell or aspell.
I don't think developers using cvs or svn would have any use for suggestions on those tools, though.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
