Error: Could not detect buildpack

    !     Could not detect buildpack https://github.com/naaman/heroku-vim

Attribution for vim-7.3.tar.gz

The script grabs vim-7.3.tar.gz from an AWS bucket, but there doesn't seem to be any explanation of where this came from.

Is it a modified version of vim?
I attempted to diff it against the archives hosted at vim.org, but there doesn't appear to be a corresponding vim-7.3.tar.gz (only a .bz2 version). Further when I extracted both vim-7.3.tar.gz and vim-7.3.tar.bz2 side by side the archive contents is completely different.
