virtual package (x-)editor ?

[Tomas Pospisek <tpo2@spin.ch>]

* Now that the defacto-virtual package "editor" is handled by the
  alternatives mechanism [1], is there any reason not to include "editor"
  in the virtual packages?

* I require a program that opens up an editor under X. Right now I am
  using:

	Suggests: editor, x-terminal-emulator

  and then I do a:

 	/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -e /etc/alternatives/editor

  which seems rather awkward to me. I would much prefer:

	/etc/alternatives/x-editor

  which would be a link to the following shellsctipt:

 	#!/bin/sh
	/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -e /etc/alternatives/editor $*

  in case the user doesn't have any x-editor

Mmh?
