I found this old entry in the Debian changelog for less:
------ >% --------------------
less (332-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Quote the arguments to lesspipe so that it can handle filenames with
special characters such as '#'. Suggestion from Richard Braakman.
Thanks, Richard! (Bug #11859)
* Recompile with libc6. (Bug #11695)
* Use update-alternatives to register less(1) as /usr/bin/pager at
level
77. (Bug #12474)
* Told less(1) to use /usr/bin/editor if the envar EDITOR isn't set.
Changed defines.h.in to not redefine EDIT_PGM and removed checking
the
VISUAL envar for the program to use.
* Register bug on less since it should depend on -something-
installing
/usr/bin/editor but nothing I've seen does yet.

It uses /usr/bin/editor when EDITOR is not set.
You can change it by running update-alternatives --config editor
