And that is how ?

Requirements:

Work across distributions
Easy download and deployment

One rough idea could be a plugin which grabs available data packages off the 
net (hosted in a repository), matches target GNUmed versions and lets the user 
'install the package'

What types of extensions are there ?

additional plugins
additional data packages
additional forms and templates
additional data packages such as abbreviations

I wonder if all can be handled the same way.
