[Bug 1574897] Please test proposed package

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted vim into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Upgrading to 16.04 disables Python3?

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in vim source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Since I ran a do-release-upgrade last week from 15.10 to 16.04,
  starting Vim now produces this warning I haven't seen before:

  ~/D/abc ❯❯❯ vim                                                                                develop ✭
  You need vim compiled with Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later support
  for Powerline to work. Please consult the documentation for more
  details.
  Press ENTER or type command to continue

  Then had a look at the included features of Vim:

  I see, there is -python and -python3

  But all news and documentation say the Vim in Xenial 16.04 comes with
  Python3 enabled. I am confused? A bug?
