Subject: `elm' depends on editors

Package: elm

The `elm' package lists many editors in its Recommends field.  This is
(a) unnecessary because everyone will have an editor anyway and (b)
futile, because it requires listing all text editors (and there is,
quite correctly, no virtual package name for a text editor).
