Hi Geert,

jj does respect the EDITOR environment variable. That's fine.

The issue is that jj will default to "nano" when no editor is
configured (not in the jj configuration and not in the environment
variables). Debian Policy says that in that case "/usr/bin/editor"
should be used.

Concretely, I think the editor setting in `cli/src/config/unix.toml`
should be changed for Debian systems.

Cheers,
Peter
