That's unfortunately not possible:
The Python 2 removal operates a very complex of packages which
many inter dependencies, so it's not possible to keep some
packages around until late in the freeze cycle.

In fact, the bug for gnumed-client got already bumped to release-critical
state because of reverse depencies (which triggered it's removal
from testing), so that's not possible.
