Lost vi/vim

[bham]

sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/vim

Will remove the diversion..

... I know kvim is in universe but ... When is it going to be fixed? 
I'm trying to embed ViM inside KDevelop and its not going so well.  To
use ViM as an embedded KDE text editor component, I have to install
'vimpart' which relies on some form of ViM with a GUI (kvim, gvim). 
KDE recommends kvim so I tried to install kvim.  The issues with the
kvim package seem to be:

- It doesn't actually provide a /usr/bin/vim
- It diverts the existing /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/vim.org

How come the kvim package it doesn't provide a usable /usr/bin/vim?

As an alternative, I tried installing 'vim-gtk' and 'vimpart' ...
KDevelop doesn't embed vim-gtk correctly.  The ViM window just shows up
external to KDevelop.  Thus, I'd like kvim to work :-)

Any help appreciated.
