Well, as far as gm-remove_person.1.gz goes -doc would be just fine. That
doesn't solve the question of what to do with /usr/bin/gm-remove_person
itself, though.

There's two "proper" answers to that:

1) Anything not -server is -client, so if people want to be able to
access the GNUmed database (say, removing a person) w/o resorting to
PostgreSQL tools (psql) they would need to install some sort of -client
package. However, the client pulls in LOADS of LaTeX which just isn't
fair on server machines just because the admin wants a local gm-remove_person.

2) Create a -tools which would include gm-remove_person(.1.gz). We've got
precious few other things that would go in there, however, so whether that's
worth the effort ...
