Review: Abstain

Short of breaking xxd out of vim-common in xenial I don't see an alternative.... But I tested installation of vim-common on a recent xenial minimal lxd image.  Installing vim-common (and friends) use 35MB of additional disk space. :-(

# apt-get install vim-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following additional packages will be installed:
  libpython3.5 vim vim-runtime
Suggested packages:
  ctags vim-doc vim-scripts vim-gnome-py2 | vim-gtk-py2 | vim-gtk3-py2 | vim-athena-py2 | vim-nox-py2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libpython3.5 vim vim-common vim-runtime
0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 7663 kB of archives.
After this operation, 35.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Pollinate only adds 54.3Kb to the installation on top of this.

I think 35MB is a lot to add AND I think that users will see vim on xenial and believe that it is a regression on bionic to have it gone.  But I don't like the lack of pollinate so I'm going to abstain.
