i'm guessing you probably wanted something like this
instead:

	if <debian.org> then
		if <hurd> then
			save <hurd>
		ELSE			# <<==
			SAVE <DEBIAN>	# <<==
		endif
	endif

whereas what you've got right now does this:

	if <debian.org> then
		if <hurd> then
			save <hurd>
		endif
	ELSE			# <<==
		SAVE <DEBIAN>	# <<==
	endif

it matches your debian test, but not the HURD test,
so it falls through.
