There must be an option for GRUB, as GRUB is the only boot loader
powerful enough to boot the Hurd.

So, the Debian boot-floppies will support GRUB, at least for the Hurd.
If Debian GNU/Linux is going to ship with a crippled boot loader for
all eternity, that's another decision.  I would hope not so.
