It's odd that someone would put system/local Vim configuration files
in both /usr/share/vim and /etc. In my experience, package
maintainers choose one or the other.

Somewhere in that temp-vim-verbose-log file there should have been a
message about /etc/vim/ftdetect/asciidoc_filetype.vim, so maybe I
had the level wrong. ":help 'verbose'" lists the levels and what
they do. Maybe 8 would work better. (I usually just set 15 and go
searching through the mess that results.)

What are you running on that laptop? If a Linux distribution, which
one?
