Hello all, Debian/Testing has been frozen and is currently stabilizing to eventually become a Debian/Stable release.
The current GNUmed version in Testing is 0.7 or to be exact 0.7.8 until yesterday. Release 0.7.9 fixed a nasty bug with allergy handling where one allergy could overwrite another if generated from the very same multi-component substance intake entry. It has been quite an experience for the Debian project to let the upgrade from 0.7.8 to 0.7.9 pass through into an already frozen Testing since this was the first time they had to deal with a potentially life-threatening bug in one of their packages. However, everyone involved has acted very responsibly and understanding which once again proves Debian to be a highly reliable platform for medical practice. In the meantime we have released GNUmed 0.8 with 0.8.2 being released today. However, GNUmed 0.8 will stay in Debian/Unstable and NOT move to Testing until Testing became Stable because it has not had the level of testing and exposure to real world situations we would feel comfortable with for it to become part of a long term Debian/Stable release. However, assuming you point your sources.list files at unstable mirrors you can of course install GNUmed 0.8 onto existing Debian/Testing machines. We do not anymore recommend the *current* Debian/Stable for running GNUmed (although it is provably possible to run GNUmed 0.7.9 under Debian/Stable today).
