Nothing against supporting PG 7.4 upstream but I see no reason to
relay on features of PG 8.1 *on Debian installations*.  At least
I see no restriction here if we start packaging the GNUmed server
as a new package and do not have to care for upgrades from
previous packages.

Please, Check your keyboard.  I can read the same character 12 times.

Well, popping up an editor in the install process is not a good
option.  The only option for manual intervention is a debconf
message that you have to read /usr/share/doc/gnumed-server/README.Debian
and follow the instructions there to get a functional GNUmed server.

Really, there is a problem with your '!' key.  Did it also happen
if you press '1'? ;-)

To conclude: I would be more than happy if we could get a conf.d
solution which would be the most flexible and very elegant.

Kind regards
