[Bug 1211971] [NEW] Please backport vim 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2 (main) from saucy

[Grant Bowman]

Public bug reported:

Please backport vim 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2 (main) from saucy to precise,
quantal, raring.

Reason for the backport:
========================
This editor is one of several main tools for many developers.
Having the latest version available on the LTS would be very helpful.
Per the release announcement "more than a thousand bugs and small improvements"
  have been fixed since 7.3.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_announce/knOQ_t_H5to 

I used dget with pbuilder to try a test build of
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vim/vim_7.4.000-1ubuntu2.dsc
  but problems exist for precise such as Build-Conflicts: ruby1.8

Packages for quantal and raring are available in at least
  the ppa of cjohnston.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d precise vim
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d quantal vim
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d raring vim

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of vim. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new vim. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new vim installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
