https://www.vim.org/vim-8.1-released.php - The main new feature of Vim 8.1
is support for running a terminal in a Vim window

but I am having second thoughts after reading the dire warnings in
https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences -

<!> When pinning, you must ensure compatibility of packages by yourself
since Debian does not guarantee it. Note that pinning is completely
optional, and Debian does not encourage pinning without thorough
consideration.

/!\ Seriously, don't do this. Doing this will break Debian and leave you
with a system that doesn't work and can't be fixed. Use Backports instead!
