Ah, in this instance I had upgraded to sid/unstable as I thought that
maybe some regression or something. I just purged and installed the
one on testing or if you want can get the sid/unstable one.

[$] apt-cache policy nano

nano:
  Installed: 2.7.0-1
  Candidate: 2.7.0-1
  Version table:
     2.7.1-1 1
          1 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 2.7.0-1 600
        600 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I would prefer you do it as you would have more understanding of what
gives than I. Please share the bug-report link so I can follow up as
to whatever happens.

Thank you for taking time out to understand my issue. Sorry for being
such a pain.
