Because this kind of dependencies (features which do not belong to

completely without any kind of editor; e.g. when jobs are installed

It works just fine until you try to use the functionality that looks up
$EDITOR, finds none and tries to fall back to vi, and doesn't find it
and crashes.

Crashing is a bug; a message that $EDITOR should be set and/or 'vi' be
installed a proper behavior.

Doesn't ubunutu have a scheme where trying to execute a missing program suggests the package you need to install to get it? That's even better behavior.
