I noticed that the page

   http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideHomeShort

has changed in a way that I can not automatically parse it any more for
a string

   http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/[\d\.]+/gnumed-client\.([\d\.]+)\.tgz

This was evident to let the Debian uscan tool recognise new versions.
To have this service automatically running we need a reliable way to
notice new versions.  While I could seek the directory

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/0.7/

this fails once 0.8 is released.  If I try to parse

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/*/

this fails for alpha and beta releases of 0.8 because these will be
reported but should not be packaged.  I have no real solution /
suggestion to this problem - just try to find a way to publish releases
in a way which makes uscan working reliable.  BTW, uploading the
Tarball to a general repository (like sourceforge etc.) would help
as well.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
