Create a symlink vim63 -> vim64 in /usr/share/vim. I've done it some
time ago and nearly forgot about this bug.
IIRC this is necessary because vim-runtime is installed in
/usr/share/vim/vim64 and vim looks for files in /usr/share/vim/vim63
because vim --version thinks it's 6.3 (dpkg tells it's 6.4).
I don't know which version number is the correct one.
