+This directory contains Debian-specific fake help files and tags used by
+the "vim-tiny" package. Their only purpose is to tell the user how to
+install the real VIM online help on Debian if she wants to (i.e.
+installing the "vim-runtime" package).

+
+ VIM - fake help file for vim-tiny
+
+The Vim online help is not installed on this Debian GNU/Linux system.
+
+WHY ?
+
+Because only the "vim-tiny" package is installed, whose sole purpose is to
+provide the vi command for base installations. As such, it contains a minimal
+version of Vim compiled with no graphical user interface and a small subset of
+features, in order to keep the package size small.
+
+Since the "vim-runtime" package is rather huge when compared to "vim-tiny",
+installing the latter does not automatically install the former.
+
+HOW TO GET A BETTER VIM
+
+To get a more featureful Vim binary (and a vim command, rather than just vi),
+install one of the following packages: vim, vim-nox, vim-motif, or vim-gtk3.
+
+HOW TO OBTAIN HELP
+
+Either browse the Vim online help via web starting at
+
+ https://vimhelp.org/
+
+or ask your administrator to install the "vim-doc" package, which contains the
+ HTML version of the online help and browse it starting at
+
+ /usr/share/doc/vim/html/index.html
+
+or ask your administrator to install the "vim-runtime" package, re-run vi, and
+ access the online help again. Note that all the above mentioned Vim
+ variants other than "vim-tiny" automatically install the "vim-runtime"
+ package. If you don't suffer from disk space shortage using one of them is
+ recommended.
