A very similar discussion was taking place across on the bzr lists at
the same time:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.bazaar-ng.general/11342/focus=11398
it's mainly about the debian policy 11.4
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html
to sum up: use VISUAL if it exists; else use EDITOR if it exists; else
use /usr/bin/editor.
just thought this might be useful info for whoever's looking at the issue.
