Hi Andreas, I think we definitely need namespaces like this and even if the final implementation may be different, I think that it is a good start. I would rather put a "Recommends" or even "Suggests" relationship with med-config, so that the solution is either opt-in or opt-out. Technically, using /usr/lib/debian-med/bin will be a FHS violation in case the programs in that directory are scripts, but I do not think it has detrimental consequences to the system. After all, /usr/lib/cgi-bin also contais scripts.
