I was not mixing them up, but I understand that any assumption I was making 
risked to be weak. I had noticed:

1) that my GNUmed client software (1.1.7) was failing to detect the existence 
of 1.1.12 tarballs

2) that the tarball string at

                http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/1.1/

        had changed format from earlier version tarballs... the format was now

                gnumed-client.1.1.12.tgz (lower case gnu)

        and not

                GNUmed-client.1.1.12.tgz (upper case GNU, which form had been 
used in the past)

3) I had somehow made myself a note that "uscan looks for a string matching

                
http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/[\d\.]+/GNUmed-client\.([\d\.]+)\.tgz

        which appeared, to me, to be case sensitive

That's all. I did (do) not know how to resolve my own question on this, and 
that's why I asked. I did not have anything stronger on which to base the 
worry. Thank you, though.
