Sounds like pan should depend on a virtual capability like "editor" or
"gui-editor" and the packages for the various text editors need to
provide such virtual capabilities. An example of this is the way the
firefox, mozilla and lynx packages provide the virtual capability
"webclient" under Fedora.
In an ideal world we would have some universal set of virtual
capabilities recognized by all distributions and package vendors.
