No! All distributions I have worked install a minimal version of vim
by default as well. And I always manually upgrade to the full version.
But all those distributions use alternative to solve the naming
problem.

Cygwin "vim" used to use alternatives as well and vi == vim. But when
vim-minimal was introduced - and alternatives would be *really* useful
- Yaakov decided to stop using alternatives for some reason, and now
vi != vim.

vim-minimal is in Base. I think it will return every time you run setup.
