Please file a bug with the Debian maintainers.

How are people supposed to edit files without the standard editor?

with nano? /uj maybe it was an option during the install, IDK, I don’t want to bother the folks with a suspicion and a shitty memory, nor do I want to reinstall deb somewhere esle

I was joking, definitely don’t write them to install an editor that’s obsolete.

sed and grep (both inspired by ed) to do most of what ed does in a modern way, and ed was only useful over teletype when it was slow/expensive to render a scrollable field.

All modern TTYs support scroll regions, and with sed it just doesn’t make sense to use ed anymore.

ed as the standard editor is mostly a meme based on this page wiki.c2.com/?EdIsTheStandardTextEditor

What I know of the FOSS angel is that it is perfectly happy with all the FOSS editors
