Description
AFAICT, vim does not use the localstatedir. In other words, passing --localstatedir=/var/lib/vim to vim is not going to make it use that dir for its temporary state files.
We need to do one of the following:-
- Fix the vim source code to respect the localstatedir (difficult)
- Get rid of the vim FHS compliance notes paragraph altogether (easy)
- Change the wording to reflect reality (easy)
Take your pick! :)

I vote for removing the paragraph then.
