I have installed vim as well. It should work. Tried to remove vim-tiny.
That fixed it. A normal user just installing vim doesn't know that it's
not compatible with vim-tiny. And having to remove ubuntu-minimal(which
depends on vim-tiny) sounds scary to a normal user.

So the correct bugreport should be: the package vim does not overwrite
the vim-binary of vim-tiny.
