Package: sensible-utils
Version: 0.0.13
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

vim.gtk was removed and I have run something which was relying on 
sensible-editor

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I wondered why something reported that vim.gtk is missing and couldn't figure 
out quickly where it comes from.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Reading sensible-editor manpage did not help. Checking environment did not 
help, $EDITOR or $VISUAL were not set.
Eventually I had to dig in the shell script manually.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The error message from sensible-editor shall tell the user where the program 
name came from, where was it set?

The manual page shall cross-link to select-editor manpage and mention the 
~/.selected_editor file along the lines.
