so maybe we just add nano-tiny as an option to vim-tiny.
because we understand vim is not newbie friendly, but for all the old
hands, nano is not friendly to us.

nvi is orphaned both upstream and in Debian and is quite buggy (probably
all minor stuff or less common stuff like non-ASCII support, but I
wouldn't count on it given the code). I would not recommend it unless

Hi
I am building debian disk images for the Vagrant tool, distributed at
