Binary package hint: gnumed-client

Under certain (not uncommon) circumstances it can happen that GNUmed
OVERWRITES allergy entries in a patient chart.

This can lead to DEATH of a patient due to an anaphylactic shock.

The bug is fixed in upstream 0.7.9 which is a *strictly-bug-fix-only*
release.

Please strongly consider for testing-proposed-updates and feel free to
ask for clarification if needed.

The issue has been raised on debian-devel under the subject line

	"Is a bug RC relevant if it has an influence on the health of a person"
