Untfortunately I can't give you the verbose fix, since I don't seem to be 
able to access the debian diff file.

But the fix is very easy - in /var/lib/dpkg/info/kvim.prerm (or 
postrm?) there is a all for dpkg-divert. Change /usr/bin/vim.org to 
/usr/bin/vim.old there and you should be set.

Norbert: btw. that's a blueprint for the fix actually. Check if the is 
either /usr/bin/vim.org or /usr/bin/vim.old and divert accordingly:

if dpkg-divert --list kvim|grep org
  $extensions='org'
fi
if dpkg-divert --list kvim|grep old
  $extensions="$extensions old"
fi
for i in $extensions do
  dpkg-divert --remove WHATEVER.$i
etc...
