The latest version of vim in Debian/Unstable suggests adding the above to / etc/vim/vimrc.local to get the past behavior. A quick test indicates that it does as desired. But thanks for the other suggestions, it's good to have plenty of options for the lurkers.
Er, that looks like a hefty hammer. The name "skip_defaults_vim" intimates that it'll revert all the new defaults, and etc/vim/vimrc.local rather than ~/.vimrc imposes it on all users. But they can then individually add back in whatever, anyway, I guess.
When I'm the only vim user on a system that works well. In cases where I'm not the only vim user on the system everyone will be accessing it without X so there probably won't be much difference. True multi-user Linux systems are getting rare.

And `:set mouse=` was offered as the canonical fix. (But anything that works is great ... until the secondary effects are encountered.)
