I might be wrong but in the past there was a time when packagers renamed that 
file. For rpm packages I do:

cp client/connectors/gm_ctl_client.conf \ 
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/gnumed/gm_ctl_client.conf
  
cp client/doc/gnumed.conf.example $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/gnumed/gnumed.conf  

cp client/doc/gnumed-client.conf.example \ 
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf  


Is  that correct ?
