Title:
  [karmic] vim-7.2.148-2ubuntu2 - broken regexp in debchangelog.vim

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “vim” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  The regular expression for the element debchangelogTarget is broken. 
  Right now its:

  syn match debchangelogTarget    contained "\v
  %(frozen|unstable|%(testing|%(old)=stable)=%(-proposed-
  updates|-security)=|experimental|%(etch|lenny)-%(backports|volatile)|%(dapper|gutsy|hardy|intrepid|jaunty|karmic)%(-%(security|proposed|updates|backports|commercial|partner))=)+"

  the probmlem is the part with ...|%(testing|%(old)=stable)=%(-proposed-updates|-security)=|...
  if no part of this alternative is selected in the changelog file this part will be substitued as an empty word which isn't allowed in vim, so the regex is only evaluated to this point.

  The fix would be to remove the = after stable so the alternative won't be empty any more. 
  Complete:

  syn match debchangelogTarget    contained "\v
  %(frozen|unstable|%(testing|%(old)=stable)%(-proposed-
  updates|-security)=|experimental|%(etch|lenny)-%(backports|volatile)|%(dapper|gutsy|hardy|intrepid|jaunty|karmic)%(-%(security|proposed|updates|backports|commercial|partner))=)+"

  I tested it and it works.
