ok, got it. you were right about the divert. I removed the vim-gtk package and it removed the divert. I couldn't figure out how to get the new vim-athena packages to remove the divert from vim-gtk; I tried adding a call to remove the divert in the vim-variant.preinst but that didn't help. there wasn't a .prerm, and I didn't want to try to add one.
the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003&highlight=create+deb was an invaluable reference; that thread documents the packages you have to install to be able to build deb files.
here's what I did, from the beginning, to create a vim-athena deb.
mkdir ~/package
cd ~/package
apt-get source vim-gtk
cd vim
apply patch posted below, but in the changelog use an email address for which you have a private gpg key
cd vim-6.3
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
that last line takes a while (it has to build all the vim variants), and it will prompt you for the passphrase for your gpg key; it signs the new .deb files.
you must remove the old vim-gtk package before installing the new .debs because of the divert
you have to install all the .deb files which match the version number of the changelog entry you added. (i.e., the ones for vim, vim-common, vim-doc, and vim-athena) because their versions must match (you can't just install the new vim-athena along with the old vim and vim-common).
