I've just sent the email I wrote up yesterday with a bit more details, but just a quick reaction on your response to indicate that I am in line with what you wrote. If/when you're working on integrating GNU Health into the Tryton Debian repository, don't forget to take a look at what has already been made in our SVN repository [0] (d/copyright file, etc.). Hopefully this can save you some time.
