update-alternatives --config editor

Debian provides a whole bunch of very nifty update-* scripts.

Some of them are (man -k update-):

update-alternatives (8) - maintain symbolic links determining default
commands
update-binfmts (8)   - maintain registry of executable binary formats
update-fonts-alias (8) - compile fonts.alias files
update-fonts-dir (8) - compile fonts.dir files
update-fonts-scale (8) - compile fonts.scale files
update-inetd (8)     - create, remove, enable or disable entry in
/etc/inetd.conf
update-ispell-dictionary (8) - Bash script to select a new ispell default
dictionary.
update-menus (1)     - generate Debian menu system
update-mime (8)      - create or update MIME information
update-modules (8)   - (re)generate /etc/modules.conf
update-passwd (8)    - safely update /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and
/etc/group
update-rc.d (8)      - install and remove System-V style init script links
update-vfontcap (8)  - No manpage for this program, utility or function.
update-xanim-modules (8) - download updated modules for xanim
