In your role as Debian Maintainer, I wouldn't worry about the background color of maps yet. It is a lot more nuanced than switching the windows and widgets colors. If I open a LibreOffice Writer .odt file, I don't want the white background paper representation to irritate my eyes, but when I print document or create a PDF, I don't want a black background either. There is distinct difference between what I want my screen to show me and the properties of the document itself. The fact that currently vym may be conflating these two by changing the background color in the vym 'document' instead of mapping the standard (light) colors to dark colors only for the display, should not be part of this issue. Solving that will most likely open quite a can of worms. Not something that we need so solve here an now. But thank you very much, Sven, for looking into this!
