Package: debianutils Version: 2.17 Severity: normal If $TERM==dumb (for example, inside an emacs M-x shell), sensible-editor should make use of that (See also bug #243461). The (to me) obvious thing to do is to try [$EDITOR, ed] as opposed to [$VISUAL, $EDITOR, editor, nano, nano-tiny, vi]. Also, there should probably be a `visual' alternative, in parallel with the `editor' one. Where should I file bug reports to bring that about?
