Interesting, trying ES did not work either, although it is installed
(as is the default English tutorial):
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ vimtutor es
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ vim /usr/share/vim/vim71/tutor/tutor
tutor            tutor.gr.cp737   tutor.ko.euc     tutor.sk
tutor.ca         tutor.gr.utf-8   tutor.ko.utf-8   tutor.sk.cp1250
tutor.cs         tutor.hu         tutor.no         tutor.sk.utf-8
tutor.cs.cp1250  tutor.hu.utf-8   tutor.pl         tutor.sv
tutor.cs.utf-8   tutor.info       tutor.pl.cp1250  tutor.tr.iso9
tutor.de         tutor.it         tutor.pl.utf-8   tutor.tr.utf-8
tutor.es         tutor.ja.euc     tutor.ru         tutor.vim
tutor.fr         tutor.ja.sjis    tutor.ru.cp1251  tutor.zh.big5
tutor.gr         tutor.ja.utf-8   tutor.ru.utf-8   tutor.zh.euc
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ vimtutor /usr/share/vim/vim71/tutor/tutor
<<DID NOT WORK>>
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ vim /usr/share/vim/vim71/tutor/tutor  <<DID WORK>>

But it it's only a problem for me then I'll not file a bug. Also, I
can open the tutorial with VIM now that I know where it is, so no real
problem. Thanks.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
