gedit comes with a gnome-text-editor alternative. (I don't know of anything else which uses gnome-text-editor, though. It was originally a hardcoded symlink that I made into an alternative when I debianised gedit.)
But the whole purpose of the "gnome-edit" wrapper was to call the preferred editor as selected in the GNOME Control Centre, well at least in GNOME 1.x before it mysteriously disappeared in the GNOME 2.0 packages. It would be counter-intuitive to make users use Debian's alternatives system when they believe the option has already been configured within the desktop environment itself.
but on debian, the alternatives system is the right way to do it.
No. It has a completely different purpose: To set system-wide defaults. gnome-edit could be configured by the individual user.
