Add this line to ~/.vimrc:
set runtimepath+=/usr/share/vim

In the default vim configuration the main directory for runtime files is
the one where vim installs its files, /usr/share/vim/vim72 in the new
package, /usr/share/vim/ before the split vi/vim/gvim.
See the help for :runtimepath, $VIMRUNTIME and $VIM.

The plugins packages need a repackaging.

There is already a bug report http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14626.
