Ah ahaha I love 't shrt' :D
I was tired and didn't explain my thoughts clearly. The description is
comprehensible and perfectly clear but long sentences are more
difficult to translate than small ones. I'd prefer to translate long
paragraphs with small sentences. Second remark, using smaller sentence
can improve the readability of the description (even if you have to
repeat some words). That's why I wrote 'tooooooo long' I was thinking:
"the sentence could be divided into three or four sentences to make
translation easier and to improve readability".

Ok

bis:
This meta-package will install free drug database and related
applications. The
free drug database can be accessed by any EMR using the application.
Is that useful ?
All drug database are built using 100% DFSG raw source data.
I don' clearly understand the exact meaning of this sentence:
It is supported by the GNUmed Electronic Medical Record package.
while this package is suppoted by the Debian Med packaging team.
Do you mean:
GNUmed Electronic Medical Record package takes advantage of thisp
package (or something like this)?
Karsten any help?

Yes I know, but I was talking about the tasks not the packages.
