[Bug 1608935] Re: 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1 added unneeded dependency

[Adam Conrad]

It wasn't an "unneeded dependency", vim in Ubuntu has always had python
support built in (though we switched from python2 to python3).  This was
fixing a regression, not introducing something new to annoy you.

** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
