Actually, no. Read Policy:
12.4. Editors and pagers
------------------------
Some programs have the ability to launch an editor or pager program to
edit or display a text document. Since there are lots of different
editors and pagers available in the Debian distribution, the system
administrator and each user should have the possibility to choose
his/her preferred editor and pager.
In addition, every program should choose a good default editor/pager
if none is selected by the user or system administrator.
Thus, every program that launches an editor or pager must use the
EDITOR or PAGER environment variable to determine the editor or pager
the user wishes to use. If these variables are not set, the programs
`/usr/bin/editor' and `/usr/bin/pager' should be used, respectively.
These two files are managed through the `dpkg' `alternatives'
mechanism. Thus every package providing an editor or pager must call
the `update-alternatives' script to register these programs.
It's quota's responsibility to honor this.
