See, this is my same point about not putting in /doc/ files that are  
meant to be functional simply because they happen to contain comments  
or as a place to keep functional files inactive. Maybe I am being  
n00bie naive here but would this not be a better case to relocate the  
hook script (in future) in the tarball from

        client/doc

to

        optional/

and in this case (if the hook script is not meant to go system wide)  
it could be in the tarball in

        optional/userfiles/

Would a suitable destination in a debian system be

        etc/gnumed/optional

??
