/usr/share/doc/gnumed-client/README.Debian
does this - but I admit it needs updating (and I'm doing so right now).

Well, I would really welcome patches against such doc files.  It is
quite hard for me as somebody who does not really use GNUmed to find
sensible solutions here.  So just have a look at

   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/gnumed-client/trunk/

and inspect all files *README* or whatever seems worth changing.  Perhaps
you also consider changes to the description in debian/control.
