Debian – How to enable vim addon packages

debianpackage-managementUbuntuvim

I have installed vim-nox as well as vim-latexsuite and vim-outliner on Ubuntu 12.10. There's nothing wrong with Vim but neither of the add-on packages does anything. What do I have to do to in order to enable them?

Vim add-ons are not enabled for all users by default. To use an add-on, use vim-addons:

$ vim-addon-manager 
# Name                     User Status  System Status 
editexisting                removed       removed       
justify                     removed       removed       
latex-suite                 removed       removed       
matchit                     removed       removed       
vimoutliner                 removed       removed

$ vim-addons install latex-suite
$ vim-addons install vimoutliner
