Either this or you just grab the debian/ directory and say:

I can not guarantee that this works flawless, but at least chances are
not bad.  Minimum you get the right Dependencies.

Hmmmm, stable is not enough for GnuMed.  Just try testing.  Testing is in
quite good shape and I guess you will not have major problems if you
upgrade it from an installed Knoppix.

Kind regards
