Yes, it is.

I once invented the group gnumed to handle access permissions to the
postgresql server. This reason vanished for a really long time but the
code to add the gnumed group remained. I do not want to make things
more complicated than necessary and would strictly follow the advise
of upstream. The options to fix this are:
1. Drop the gnumed group completely.
2. Readd the dependency of gnumed-server from gnumed-common
3. ???
Just make a suggestion and I will follow your advise.
Kind regards
Andreas.
