I'll put together a patch to do this for the current version of vim.

I'm also getting the following warnings:

    WARNING: File '/usr/bin/vim' from vim was already stripped, this
will prevent future debugging!
    WARNING: File '/usr/bin/xxd' from vim was already stripped, this
will prevent future debugging!

Passing 'STRIP=/bin/true' to configure is recommended in the vim
Makefile to disable stripping. I'll also send a patch to do this so
that the non-stripped binaries can be placed in a -dbg package
properly.

Both changes are to vim.inc so should carry over to the new version.

Thanks,
