Eh, yeah, but it usually links to the "basic" version (which, I assume, is compatibility mode for old school vi).

    root@dicks:~# which vi
    /usr/bin/vi
    root@dicks:~# file /usr/bin/vi
    /usr/bin/vi: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/vi'
    root@dicks:~# file /etc/alternatives/vi
    /etc/alternatives/vi: symbolic link to    `/usr/bin/vim.basic'
    root@dicks:~# file /usr/bin/vim.basic
    /usr/bin/vim.basic: ELF 64-bit LSB  executable, x86-64, (snip)
    root@dicks:~# vi --version
