enable syntax highlighting in Vim by default?

[Brolin Empey]

Is there any chance of improving the Vim package(s) so they enable syntax
highlighting by default?  Every time I install Ubuntu, one of the first
packages I install is *vim* because *vim-tiny* is unusable for me.  However,
I always forget I have to enable syntax highlighting for terminals with
colour support in *~/.vimrc*:

if &t_Co > 1
        syntax enable
endif

Thanks,
Brolin
