As near as I can guess, you're not asking to remove vim-tiny, you're asking
to replace it with vim-full. There's a really, really, _really_ good reason
why vim-tiny is installed - some things need it for scripting. But there's
NO good reason to force vim-full on those of us who absolutely hate vi. If
you want vi, install it. Of course, vi should not work "out of the box".
Ugh!
