I've updated the gnuhealth package in our team's svn repo to package
the newest version (1.8). Using Tryton 2.6 (server and client)
packaged in Debian experimental, I've been able to successfully set up
a GNU Health database using the package produced by this source
package.

A few points (more details in the debian/TODO.Debian file [0]):
- Automate some of the manual steps
- health_qrcodes is currently removed from binary package due to
missing Python library
- Mention Dmitry in the Files: debian/* section of debian/copyright,
as he has worked on the package as well.
- Improvement suggestion: package the demo database in a separate
gnuhealth_demo package

Please review the package.
Even with the list of things left to do, I believe the package is
already good enough to be uploaded to Experimental. Let me know what
you think (FYI I'm a DM, and thus not allowed to upload this new
package myself)

Cheers!
