A known problem. Apparently upstream thought (and Debian maintainer
followed) that it would be good idea to enable so-called 'mouse support'
in vim. As a result X cutbuffer ceased to function in vim.
They also enabled 'incremental search' by default too, which is
annoying to say the least.

It took me some time to figure a way to disable these 'innovations'
systemwide, but I got it:

echo let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 >> /etc/vim/vimrc.local
