JFTR: Since gnuhealth modules are just another set of Tryton modules, there should be not a big problem to package them in the same generic way as the other base modules. The infrastructure to allow for a correct mapping of gnuhealth series -> tryton series -> debian release, which so far is not possible to do on debian.org itself, was built since a while on debian.tryton.org. I launched a while ago the same question on this list [0] and got really few feedback. While the procedure above for me would be the way to go and I would do the packages (as already stated), I don't see any value in investing my time in packages deprecated more or less by upstream. Even more as Luis favors to my knowledge the installation and maintenance of a gnuhealth installation by scripts. The Pros and Cons of this concept can be discussed, but certainly I don't want to get in the way of the project respectively its maintainers. So first question for me to be answered: are those packages welcome at all or are they considered as irritating and distracting from the supported installation way?
