I would put a shell script helping with setting up the
encrypted mount under, say,
gnumed/server/setup-encrypted-mount.sh which would check for
installed packages somehow, display instructions on what to
do and sequentially open the config files that need to be
edited.

Or perhaps put the script under gnumed/server/bootstrap/.

The bootstrapper would be configurable to use the "LOCATION"
extension of the "CREATE DATABASE" DDL command. I can easily
see to it that the latter gets done.

They would indeed be interested in reading and perhaps
running the above-mentioned shell script.

They would become Suggests: for gnuemd-server.

Yes.
