Hi!

Some packages are added to the image, like joe, bash-completion,
screen, vim. While I understand this can come handy, inclusion of
non-default editors may confuse some users. It took me some time to
figure out that I was editing some files with joe and how to save and
exit. Even if I don't like it, nano is the default editor in Debian
and it should stay this way.

If those are official images, they should only contain the packages
that are needed to make the image work. So, cloud-init stuff but no
additional editors. I would not include stuff like bash-completion
either but it is harmless.
