mousepad is *not* required. xfce4-panel works even if it's not
installed, just the “editor” launcher is useless. It only the default
install, and can be removed or edited when user want to. So I don't
think of it as a dependency.
Makes sense :)

I disagree.
Wether I am right or not doesn't change anything to the fact that some users disable that automatic installation. I also still know people who use apt-get. I know its use is now discouraged but iirc, it doesn't install recommended packages.

However, these configuration changes are probably more relevant to users who would know how to change the panel in a second anyway.

I also just noticed that xfce4 already recommends xfmedia, xfprint4 and other utilities so for the sake of consistency, maybe mousepad should also be recommended.

To sum it up, my opinion is that you should either change the bug owner to debianutils (but they are probably going to reply that $VISUAL should be set, which is true), or recommend mousepad.
The opinion of the bug owner would also be interesting.
