I don't disagree, but until the package does that, it should require
vim-minimal to avoid the crash.
$ crontab -e
/bin/sh: /bin/vi: No such file or directory
crontab: "/bin/vi" exited with status 127
Is this unacceptable behavior? I don't think so. But of course the
message could be even improved. Much better than making cronie depending
on any editor.
