But as it currently stands, the menu says 'Install" but it is not GNUmed which
makes the decision to run install, this is (via this menu) user-initiated.
Therefore it is completely reasonable that the way that a praxis would update
an already-installed pack would be to re-run a (newer) installer.
Besides, you already answered that
GNUmed > Master data > Update ATC
GNUmed > Master data > Update LOINC
are to be subsumed under
Install
so it may as well be
Install / update data pack
even as we know the data pack script is going to eventually need to be smart
enough to add vs update existing vs how to "obsolete" previously-installed
reference data.
