Debian Stable (without a DE) only comes with nano AFAIK.

It has vi in the base system, specifically `vim-tiny`. Vi is mandated by POSIX, so pretty much every distro includes some minimal version of it in the base system. `nvi` is also used sometimes instead.

I'd bet good money both ed and vi are there as they are specified by POSIX iirc.
