Maybe:
1. we should include xml files of ODT in repo, instead of ODT file.
    when install gnuhealth, auto create ODT file from xml files.
    similar: https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/etc
2. we should include a ODT2po tool,  Before we update ODT file, we should
    get its po file to check what po item update.
