Hi Andreas and Samyak, Coincidentally, I had also been working on medicalterms. So, one of the binaries in this package is a dictionary for hunspell, but debian/control doesn't list hunspell as a dependency. The dependencies listed are other dictionaries, so the actual program isn't installed, and can't be found while testing. I have added it now, and added a few tests as well. Please take a look.
