the current tarball on pypi.io seems to be broken: It has only 770k and
basically no modules inside.

Can we agree on a slightly different wording here?

The GNU Health control center works on standard installations (those
done from source files as described on wikibooks).
Don't use it if you use the packages provided by your Linux-Distribution. Here
the system takes care about patches.

I have applied the patch to the openSUSE packages of release 3.6.1, so it has
the same patch level as the 3.6.2 release. Will update once the 3.6.2 tarball
is fixed
