A large number of errors seem to come from hurd and hurd-dev.

Some of these aren't really errors, eg.

E: hurd: statically-linked-binary ./hurd/ext2fs.static

which must be static for the root file-system.

[826] [snoopy:bam] ~/tmp >grep hurd lintian_run-20010227 |wc --lines
    268

[828] [snoopy:bam] ~/tmp >wc --lines lintian_run-20010227      
  10949 lintian_run-20010227

While this is only 2.5% of what is contained in lintian_run-20010227,
I suggest that problems due to hurd specific packages should not be
included until Hurd is going to be released in stable.
