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.
