James was so kind to upload this fix the next day, and so things have
been fine in unstable since then. However Bookworm is still broken,
with vim currently unable to migrate because of vim-ultisnips'
autopkgtest failure in #1028442.
Once the fixed vim migrates to testing I intent to add versioned Breaks
on vim-common to ncurses-base and ncurses-term, so that users do not
experience the problem on partial upgrades from Bullseye, and close the
current bug.
Cheers,
Sven
