I think you need to re-read the ebuild. sudo depends on virtual/
editor,
not nano. Nowhere is nano hardcoded to be a requirement of sudo. On
the
other hand, if you went with the upstream settings, you'd need to
add vim
as a dependency, even for those that don't wish to use it. Forcing
such
things on the user is most definitely not the Gentoo Way.
You appear to be demonstrating that you don't fully understand the
problem:
828 ~ $ grep nano /usr/portage/app-admin/sudo/sudo-1.7.2_p1.ebuild
# XXX: /bin/vi may not be available, make nano visudo's default.
--with-editor=/bin/nano \
829 ~ $
Stroller.
