And there is information on the official debian port page:
http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-devel-debian
There's no "strict" priority, since it completely depends on what you
want to do with your hurd system (e.g. pochu cares about gnome, pinotree
cares about kde). That being said, if you don't have a particular
goal, you can simply pick up the lists mentioned on that page, as they
sort packages by reverse dependencies, and thus potentially unlock more
packages. Make sure whether a patch might already be available on alioth
or the BTS.
