I think you shouldn't rely on Recommends: to install required packages.
I for one disabled the automatic installation of recommended packages in 
aptitude (I like to keep my system clean) and think that basic 
functionality should always be available with Depends: only. In other 
words, if you have a shortcut to an application in a visible place like 
the panel, you should make sure that it is indeed available.
That said, having a package depend on too many other packages can be 
boring for some users.

Maybe forward the bug to debianutils ? If sensible-browser checks if an 
X session is available, I don't see why sensible-editor couldn't do the 
same.
