i put some local configuration files for vim-latexsuite
in ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.  They are the following ones:
texrc, compiler.vim (to use biber and no more bibtex
as biblatex backend). However, Vim continues
to read the original system configuration files placed in
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite/ and in
/var/lib/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite.
I saw this old bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=202955
but at present my situation seems really close to that one
described there. Any update, fix and so on ?

thanx

Respect to this old bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=202955
Vim doesn't read nor texrc nor compiler.vim if present
in a local configuration directory as ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex
(or ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite, it's the same).
I have to copy both files with my own settings in system
directories (/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite
and  /var/lib/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite) to have it
working. So this bug is relative not only to texrc file,
but to all user configuration files
