Admin will be pissed off any way if installing an editor change anything in
the configured system, thsts why I think prios are flawed.

It is a good method to pick the initial alternative, but not to be
avaluated on each install/remove.

I know that this is hard to achieve with the current packaging system, but
personally I think it is more important than giving scores to software.
