kradview couldn't do what aeskulap was able to do for me last time
I looked. In fact, kradview isn't even installable anymore in a recent
Debian AFAICT which simply kills it as far as GNUmed is concerned.

Package an already-dead project because it seems better than an
already-packaged, also-dead project ?   Hey, why not :-)

There is none that I am aware of that are of interest to GNUmed
(clinical diagnostic radiology viewer rather than scientific imaging).

How about just doing a well described, limited-in-scope
assignment-type project with a known, immediately useful outcome ?

That would be my suggestion anyway.
