Package: less
Version: 332-2
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

If the envar EDITOR isn't set, less uses /usr/bin/editor.  This is
problematic since there are no editor packages yet that register that as
an alternative.  So, possibly it should depend on
/usr/bin/sensible-editor since that's actually in a package and mentions
that you should set $EDITOR.  But the way it is now, actually complies
with the 2.3.0.0 packaging standards.  So, it might be a bug against
debian-policy but not until it's been discussed.  Therefore, I'm cc'ing
this to debian-policy (this could be considered a bug of this message.)

Please cc me since I don't actually read debian-policy.  I often don't
have time to read debian-private and debian-devel much less another.

Thanks,
  Darren
