I think `editor` is sufficient because it is a symbolic link to
`/etc/alternatives/editor`. As far as I understand `sensible-editor` will 
prioritise VISUAL environment variable and therefore might invoke X editor 
which is perhaps just a little bit too far from upstream behaviour. `editor` 
and `sensible-editor` are managed by the same alternatives system so IMHO it's 
not too important which one to use. I tend to prefer `editor` because it is 
more straightforward. Please feel free to correct the patch as per your 
preferences. :)

Thanks.
