Great, I added to my lsit of very clean packages, which is now:
ae (962-23.1), an (0.93-1.1), bc (1.05a-4),
bison (1.25.90-2), bzip2 (0.9.0c-2), cvs (1.10.4-1),
db (2.4.14), diff (2.7-18), diffstat (1.27-1),
ed (0.2-17), flex (2.5.4a-4), grep (2.3-2),
groff (1.11a-7.1), gzip (1.2.4-29), inetutils (1.3.2-4),
jed (0.98.7-14), less (332-4.1), libglib (1.2),
libident (0.21-7), libpng (1.0.2b-0.1), lynx (2.8.1-7),
make (3.77-6), mawk (1.3.3-2), minicom (1.82-3),
mpack (1.5-5), ncftp, pcre2 (2.05-1),
pinfo, procmail (3.10.7-7), sed (3.02-1),
sharutils (4.2-9), svgalib-dummy (1.2.13-2),tar (1.12-7),
wget (1.5.3-1.1)
It's not complete, because I add packages since only a few weeks as
I test them (or get reports). If you know more, let me know.
BTW, here is another list:
Packages which require only a patch which is in the BTS:
cpio (2.4.2-24, #37164), debianutils (1.11, #39126),
exim (2.11-3), file (3.26-1, #37705),
fortune-mod (9708-10, #37091), jade (1.2.1-4, #38518),
libpaperg (1.0.3-12.1, #39036), man-db (2.3.10-69f, #39039),

Of course you should upload this, and making it available to all of us!
Yes, you can sign natively. Install the pgp package prepared by Santiago
(find it on non-US). Install it and copy your ~/.pgp directory to the Hurd.
You can build the package just as under Linux with the following command.
Both options are mandatory:
dpkg-buildpackage -B "-mPer LundBerg <email@domain.net>"
...where ^^^^^^^^^^^^this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is your Debian maintainer email
adresse (the one which is also used in the Maintainer: field, by pgp and so
on.
This will make sure that the *changes file contains your name instead the
maintainers name. It will also only build the architecture specific packages
from the source. Then you should take a look at the changes file if it says
"architecture: hurd-i386" and nothing else. Also, the package name should be
correct. Then you can use ncftp to upload it :)
Also, please take a look at the dependencies if they look sane before
uploading it.
Thanks,
Marcus
