The issue, for me, is that after install i have to remove nano,or at least change the $EDITOR env var. I don't like to find nano when i do a crontab -e or a visudo.

Anyway, the solution is already established, nothing will change in jessie, for ascii a menu will permit to choose the default editor, vim-tiny will be installed in any case.
