Severity: normal
Hi.
If someone installs "vim" (and please note that I said "vim", not "nvi"
or other vi clone), it's very likely that it really wants to use it,
specially in single user machines. But if someone sets the EDITOR
environment variable to "vim", it's almost 100% sure that this person
wants it as editor.
I've read the other bug reports and the manpage, and I agree with you
that maybe in a light installation of Debian, which IIRC, installs "nvi"
and "nano" by default, it's not a good idea to have "nvi" with more
priority than other editors. But if the user has customised the
installation setting EDITOR, and installing vim, its pretty annoying
forcing that user to either set a flag, a mode of operation, or adding
another configuration file to the system. It may not be if you use only
a computer, but certainly it is if you use 3 or 4, or you set up new
systems frequently.
So, my point is: if the user sets EDITOR, respect it and don't ask to
change alternatives, because it doesn't make any sense. Actually, nano
has more priority than vim.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Oh, and, in my very humble opinion, the editor question at start,
may be a good workaround for a vi clone having a high priority, but it
should be a temporal solution while the maintainers of that package fix
this.

Description:
reportbug - reports bugs in the Debian distribution
Closes: 387691 388437 389259 3226523
Changes:
reportbug (3.30) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Put bugs that are fixed in subsequent releases at the top of the bug
browser; this should hopefully reduce the incidence of duplicate
reports. (Note that some bugs that are closed may appear at the top
due to known problems in debbugs.)
* Don't allow tab-expansion of the realname in offer_configuration(); this
should resolve the encoding issues that some people have been bumping
into.
* When some recipients are refused, inform the user and dump the report
in a temporary file. (Closes: #387691)
* Bypass vi nag when $EDITOR is set. (Closes: #388437)
* Add an extra EHLO when doing STARTTLS, since (contrary to the smtplib
documentation) smtplib seems to need it. (Closes: #3226523)
* Fix crash when bugtitle lacks a colon. (Closes: #389259)
