While I do use vim in most of my installation, I am trying to setup of minimal host as a source for LXC clones with salt and I encountered this problem.

This comes from the vim-plugin.eclass unconditionally depending on a vim implementation || (vim gvim). I guess this is because the eclass is targeted at individual packages providing vim-syntax rather than packages like salt providing it behind a USE flag.

I see two possibilities here:
 * make the eclass more flexible to support the case brought by salt
 * make salt use a separate package for its vim-syntax

Fixed with salt-2015.5.7 and salt-2015.8.2
