I don't have an Edgy installation right now, so I can't test but just
ask:  (1) Do you have a /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny file?  That should be the
global configuration file for vim.tiny.  (2) Did you try invoke vim.tiny
with "vim" command instead of "vi"?  That should give you "nocompatible"
behaviour.

All these choices are deliberate by the Debian Vim maintainers, and the
are all recorded in the Debian changelog.

Whether Ubuntu should change this behavior (or just install a different
vim package by default) for Desktop installs is a good question, though.
