I think either
gnu-health or gnuhealth
would be a proper package name because it is just the name of the
project. We also do have gnumed-{server,client} packages because the
project ist named GNUmed. We just have to settle with a reasonable
name without space (and '_') and need to stick to lower case letters.
BTW, the packaging in
svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/gnuhealth/trunk/
has "gnuhealth" as package name.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: Most probably it makes sense to let reportbug reject invalid package
names in ITP bugs.
